Description

Community groups in North Carolina are suing EPA Administrator Michael
Regan for failing to require sufficient testing of PFAS chemicals
contaminating water, air, and blood. The lawsuit poses a significant
test for Regan, who grew up in North Carolina and has promised to hold
polluters accountable in marginalized communities. Annie Snider breaks
down the lawsuit, EPA's response, and what this means for Regan's
environmental justice promises. Plus, an EPA watchdog slammed the
agency’s wood heater program in a new report.
