The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has approved the use of two new pesticides that contain fluorinated substances commonly referred to as "forever chemicals" because they take centuries to break down in the environment.
The EPA also announced it is relaxing a rule mandating that companies report products containing the chemicals, and proposed further weakening limits in drinking water. For decades, forever chemicals have been used to produce countless industrial and consumer goods, even though they have been linked to cancer and birth defects for over half a century.
Failed NYS GOP gubernatorial candidate and former House Republican Lee Zeldin has zero experience in science, the environment, or chemistry. A lifelong political hack and recently retired US Army Reservist, Zeldin has been an ardent supporter of Dummkopf Trumpf for years, and hence his sinecure at EPA.
