EPA Shelved PFNA Toxicity Report

Internal records say EPA scientists completed a PFNA toxicity assessment in April that found links to lower birth weight, liver injury, and male reproductive harms, and calculated safe‑exposure levels. Yet the report hasn’t been published while the agency moves to reconsider PFAS drinking‑water limits. With PFNA found in systems serving roughly 26 million people, nonrelease functions as a policy lever. — It shows how withholding completed science can be used to advance deregulatory moves, undermining evidence‑based policy and public trust on a major drinking‑water issue.
