Rep. Antonio Delgado Statement on Administration's Reported Decision Not to Limit PFOA in Drinking Water
Press Release
Issues: Environment
Today, U.S. Representative Antonio Delgado (NY-19) released the following statement in response to reports that the Environmental Protection Agency will not limit levels of PFOA/PFAS in drinking water:
"I have seen personally the damaging effects of PFOA in Hoosick Falls and Petersburgh, and talked to families who lost loved ones from cancer caused by contaminated drinking water. In light of the emerging evidence on the danger and devastation PFOA causes, it would be unconscionable for the EPA to not limit levels of these chemicals in our communities. The EPA must take the issue of water contamination seriously, and I will do everything in my power to step up efforts to address this growing crisis."
