StackHealth / U.S. pushes to regulate microplastics and pharmaceuticals in water

E.P.A. Targets Microplastics and Drugs in Drinking Water

Hiroko Tabuchi and Maxine Joselow / nytimes - The move drew praise from leaders of the Make America Healthy Again movement who had recently criticized the agency’s handling of toxic chemicals.

AI Summary: Federal agencies are moving from polite warnings to action on contaminants people actually drink.

Small particles, big headache.
