US “perennial pollutants” thresholds in flowing water

For the first time, on Wednesday, the authorities in the United States announced that they would be establishing

limits on the amount of perfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) that are allowed to be present in the water supply. These substances are referred to as “pollutants eternals” and are linked to a number of serious health issues, including cancer.

According to the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), this new regulation should make it possible to reduce the exposure of about 100 million people to volatile organic compounds (PFAS) and prevent “millions of deaths.”

The measure in question is “the most robust ever taken on PFAS by the Environmental Protection Agency,” as stated by Michael Regan, the organization’s patron.

Despite the fact that the measure is being leased by environmental societies, it has prompted the investigation of private operators, who have expressed their frustration with the cost.

The per- and polyfluoroalkylated substances, often known as PFAS, are a large family of synthetic molecules that have been in use since the 1940s. These molecules were developed for their resistance to heat or their impermeability.

most specifically, the new regulation applies to five different forms of perfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), most specifically PFOA and PFOS, which are the most extensively researched and frequently found.

According to David Andrews, a scientist at the Environmental Working Group (EWG), an organization that is quite involved in this topic, if there are millions of PFAS, then seeing those PFAS will allow for the filtering of other PFAS through the passage.

It has been explained that even if there are other sources of exposure, such as food, water is still considered to be a “important” source of exposure, and that the removal of PFAS is a relatively simple process because water can be filtered with water.

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) estimates that between six percent and ten percent of the systems that supply drinkable water (a total of sixty-six thousand) will need to take steps in order to adapt to the new standards.

Within the first three years, they will conduct water quality tests and tell the general public on the levels of pollution that they have observed. Additionally, there are two additional years to act, such as by installing filters that are specific to the situation.

Several organizations that represent the industry are concerned about the cost of these measures, which, according to them, are “under-estimated” by the Environmental Protection Agency.

It has been argued by Robert Powelson, who is a member of the Association Nationale des compagnies des eaux, that the implementation of these federal standards will result in the expenditure of billions of dollars. It is guaranteed that this cost will be retombed in a manner that is “disposable” to “the consumers.”

The government of Joe Biden emphasizes that the benefits that are generated in terms of public health are greater than these costs. Additionally, on Wednesday, he made an announcement regarding the availability of one billion dollars to assist in the financing of these installations. These funds are the result of a significant law that was passed in 2021 dealing with the renovation of infrastructures.

A dozen of the states in the United States already have limits in place for the presence of PFAS in drinking water, and they will continue to do so if those limits are more stringent than the national requirements.

Additionally, several countries, in addition to the European Union, have already established thresholds for their limits.

However, according to Melanie Benesh, who is a member of the Environmental Working Group, the United States of America’s announcements made on Wednesday are “among the most stringent in the world, and possibly even the most stringent.”

During an interview with the AFP, she stated that the new regulation is extremely historical. The United States of America has achieved a significant victory in the realm of public health.

In addition, the authorities are becoming increasingly concerned about the presence of PFAS. For example, in France, the National Assembly has only this week approved the prohibition of some products that include chemicals that are classified as PFAS.

The administration of Vice President Joe Biden had assured him that it will launch an assault on PFAS in the year 2021, launching actions on multiple fronts.

As an example, the United States’ health authorities announced in February that they would no longer sell food packaging that included PFAS (such as packaging for fast food, plates for takeout, and sachets of popcorn, for example), so eliminating one of the most significant sources of exposure to food.

Among the upcoming measures that are still anticipated, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is working to label several different forms of PFAS as “substances dangerous.”

On top of this, there is the cost of providing guests with four-legged companions with modest goodies, as well as the expenses associated with establishing the location in a secure manner that is in accordance with MAPAQ regulations. On top of that, there are COVID loans that need to be repaid, labor that needs to be found, and inflation that is affecting the food industry.

The restaurant Café Arthur, which serves a combination of Mexican and Quebec classics, is another establishment that has fallen victim to its concept.

According to Sébastien Bourget, quite a few individuals have the misconception that they are unable to attend if they do not possess a dog, but this is not the case. Because there is not enough foot traffic, the restaurant is only open for business on three days per week, which are Friday, Saturday, and Sunday.

Despite the fact that it has been in operation for close to five years, the company is still having trouble turning a profit.

Every time there is a conflict between people’s safety, dog safety, compliance with MAPAQ standards, and financial considerations, it is a tug of war. I experience a great deal of stress as a result of it.

Even if everything has happened, Sébastien and Maria are not yet prepared to give up and give up hope.

The potential of the company is something that both of us believe in. We never did this for financial gain because we were well aware that we would not get wealthy through this endeavor. Dogs are our passion, which is why we did it.
