What would it take to ensure Australian drinking water is safe from 'forever chemicals'?
Manage episode 426672382 series 5385
Earlier this year, the American Environmental Protection Agency announced there is no safe level of what are known as 'forever chemicals' in drinking water and they're setting new enforceable limits across the US.
Given PFOS and PFOA have been found in tap water around Australia, Australian experts on chemical regulation say we should be following the US example as soon as possible.
Dr Nick Chartres and Dr Mariann Lloyd-Smith discuss what we know about the presence of these 'forever chemicals' in our national water supply and whether regulatory standards need to change in order to protect our health.
