Summary

The Trump administration plans to reverse hundreds of state-level bans on toxic PFAS “forever chemicals” and other harmful substances by changing EPA risk evaluation rules.

The move would pre-empt state laws restricting chemicals in consumer goods, weakening protections under statutes like California’s Prop 65.

Critics warn this will increase public exposure to carcinogens and hormone disruptors. The Trump EPA will assess chemicals by specific use rather than overall risk, likely exempting many products.

Though implementation may take years, advocates expect ongoing pressure from states and consumers to limit toxic chemical use.

    Money and power is all that these people hold sacred, and it’s impossible for them to ever have enough. I personally find it very amusing that Christians worship Trump when he’s the antithesis of their original savior.
