Letter to ranking members of Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works
Dear Chairman Carper, Ranking Member Capito, Subcommittee Chair Duckworth, and Subcommittee Ranking Member Lummis:
We, the undersigned organizations, urge you to pass legislation to protect Americans’ drinking water from the class of toxic chemicals known as per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS). Every American should feel confident that the water coming out of our taps is both clean and safe.
Call on Congress to pass legislation to protect Americans’ drinking water from PFAS
Continuing to allow the widespread use of toxic PFAS that last forever virtually guarantees that our sources of drinking water will become contaminated. That’s why we’re urging Congress to act now – to move our economy from PFAS to safer alternatives and to strictly limit exposures and health damage as long as these chemicals remain in our environment. Tennessee Riverkeeper is sending this letter to the U.S. Senate in support of federal PFAS legislation that will protect our drinking water.
