On the recordJanuary 9, 2020
Even small levels of PFAS can be harmful to the public's health. The PFAS Action Act of 2019 will help address this public health issue by establishing a maximum contaminant level for PFAS in drinking water, provide funds to help communities remove PFAS from their drinking water, and require continuing monitoring of PFAS. It also provides millions specifically for disadvantaged communities harmed by PFAS-affected water systems. Having clean water to drink is a common good for everyone, not a privilege for the few. I urge everybody to vote ``yes.''
