Delgado Slams Report Feds Won’t Limit PFOA In Drinking Water

There was a report out of Washington Tuesday afternoon, January 29, that the Environmental Protection Agency will not limit PFOA/PFAS in drinking water.  19th District Representative Antonio Delgado is responding by saying in a Tuesday evening statement, “I have seen personally the damaging effects of PFOA in Hoosick Falls and Petersburgh, and talked to families who lost loved ones from cancer caused by contaminated drinking water. In light of the emerging evidence on the danger and devastation PFOA causes, it would be unconscionable for the EPA not to limit levels of these chemicals in our communities. The EPA must take the issue of water contamination seriously, and I will do everything in my power to step up efforts to address this growing crisis.”
