Discuss current threats to EPA’s PFAS national drinking water standards. Half of the U.S. population drinks PFAS-contaminated water. In April 2024, the EPA restricted six PFAS chemicals but has recently released a proposal to remove 4 of these PFAS from their regulatory standards. Patients are concerned about PFAS in their drinking water and in their bodies and nurses are well-positioned to advocate for better health protections and drinking water standards. With the EPA holding a virtual hearing for the PFAS drinking water proposed rules on July 7th, this webinar will focus on learning how to craft your comments and either testify virtually at the hearing or submit written comments by July 20, 2026. This webinar will underscore the importance of nurse testimony and the need for a health and science based approach to PFAS. This webinar will also review ANHE’s newly released and revised PFAS Guidance for Clinicians (referred to as ANHEs PFAS Toolkit).
