Three amendments introduced by Livingston County's congresswoman were adopted Wednesday as part of the PFAS Action Act - a bipartisan bill approved by the U.S. House of Representatives to help clean up PFAS contamination and regulate so-called "forever chemicals".
Slotkin's provisions would improve an EPA resource website that will include guidance and information on how residents can test household well water for PFAS and what to do if traces are found; increase grant funding for local communities to $500 (m) million annually for the next five years to cover the cost of PFAS treatment; and expand the PFAS-Free Product Labeling Program, which will require the EPA to incorporate PFAS into an existing "safe-labeling" program for certain products.
