This bill requires the Environmental Protection Agency to develop a comprehensive strategy for communicating with the public about the risks of PFAS, a group of chemicals found in many consumer products and environmental sources. The EPA would need to disseminate information about how these substances affect land, air, water including drinking water, and consumer products, while also educating the public about how people are exposed to PFAS and what steps they can take to reduce their exposure. The bill directs the EPA to consult with states that have already created effective PFAS communication programs to help shape a national strategy. This legislation affects all Americans who may be exposed to PFAS through drinking water, food, consumer products, or other sources. The bill does not specify dedicated funding amounts or implementation deadlines, leaving those details to EPA discretion.
