So that study uses limits set by consumer reports, it's a misrepresentation to use it to argue that water doesn't meet standards. And it's not clear if they included private wells (where things like arsenic levels may be naturally high).


The EPA hadn't even set limits for PFAS at that time.

They only got around to it earlier this year - after the "forever chemicals" were detected in the water systems of nearly 200 million Americans.

So I guess you're right - technically, you can't meet standards that don't exist. Not sure that helps your argument that we have safe water though!
