EPA and other regulatory agencies have primarily focused their efforts to control PFAS contamination to water and waste releases, and this action would fill a potential "gap" in the PFAS contamination cycle. While many states are indirectly regulating PFAS emissions in various ways, this would bring a new level of regulatory oversight to these often referred to "forever chemicals." With even small amounts of PFAS being considered potentially unsafe for human health, effects could be seen far beyond just the manufacturing sector and reaching into the energy industry.
