"The EPA asked Nov. 25 for information and opinions as to whether it should require companies and federal facilities that make or use certain “forever chemicals” to report when they are released and how they are managed.
The Environmental Protection Agency published online a preregulatory notice describing ways it could revise the Toxics Release Inventory (TRI) program to obtain information on the releases of some per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances, or PFAS, by industrial and federal facilities.
“I started at the agency as a career employee in the TRI program, and exploring the addition of certain PFAS chemicals to the TRI is an important step that can enhance this tool and provide important information to the public on these chemicals for the first time,” EPA Administrator Andrew Wheeler said in a news release."
