The House passed the PFAS Action Act of 2021. The bill requires the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to designate perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl (PFAS) chemicals as hazardous and make the chemicals eligible for cleanup under the Superfund program. PFAS, also called "forever chemicals," are toxic man-made chemicals used in manufacturing. Some PFAS have gotten into drinking water near manufacturing areas across the country.
