Pennsylvania Clean Water Action has led efforts to protect public health from toxic chemicals and promote environmental justice. The Commonwealth grapples with various exposure concerns, from PFAS  lurking in everyday products to lead hazards from various sources and chemicals associated with fracking. While tackling diverse threats, Pennsylvania has adopted several proactive measures to prevent toxic chemical exposure such as establishing drinking water standards for PFOA and PFOS and adopting a fracking wastewater disposal ban. These efforts demonstrate Pennsylvania’s commitment to protecting public health and the environment from the harmful effects of toxic chemicals.
