The Environmental Protection Agency said Wednesday that it plans to weaken limits on some so-called forever chemicals in drinking water that were finalized last year, while maintaining standards for two common ones.

The EPA aims to roll back Biden-era limits on some "forever chemicals" in drinking water, in a move that would impact Michigan and other states. Why it matters: Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are a class of chemicals used in nonstick and fire-resistant products that are widespread in U.

The announcement overturns a landmark move by the Biden administration that required companies, for the first time, to limit six forever chemicals from leaching into our water.
