Follow-Up: Multi-State Coalition Expands Support For Microplastics Regulation, Urging USEPA To Include Microplastics In Both CCL 6 And UCMR 6
Fifteen state attorneys general are urging the EPA to include microplastics in its Sixth Unregulated Contaminant Monitoring Rule for drinking water, building on the agency's recent decision to add microplastics to its draft Contaminant Candidate List 6. While the CCL inclusion represents progress in understanding microplastics' health impacts, the coalition argues that UCMR designation would impose actual monitoring requirements on public water systems and make results publicly accessible.
