Comment Submissions – Second Draft of the Public Health Goal for PFOA/PFOS

Since PFOA and PFOS can be filtered from drinking water and since it is present in many unavoidable ways on stain resistant surfaces, waterproofing and in cooking film, every effort should be made to require effective filtration in municipal water systems to reduce the growing and potentially deadly impact they have. Water systems that depend on wells in areas which may be prone to chemical use containing those chemical should not be sold without mandatory testing of water and indoor contamination in carpets, curtains and other interior materials. The accumulation of these and the PFAS chemicals together with other impacts have a major impact of public health levels of cancer. We cannot set the levels low enough.
