Last year, the Biden administration set limits on PFAS in drinking water systems. Donald Trump's EPA is planning to dramatically soften that rule.

The head of the Environmental Protection Agency has come under bipartisan criticism over his agency’s actions to cancel billions of dollars in congressionally approved spending to address chronic pollution in minority communities and jump-start clean energy programs.

On top of more than $20 billion in previously frozen funding, the Trump's budget request would slash the US EPA's funding by nearly 55%.

Environmental Protection Agency head Lee Zeldin has said he wants the federal agency to accelerate scientific safety evaluations of various chemicals, including pesticides.
