New Jersey S1043 mandates the Department of Environmental Protection to assess PFAS regulation in drinking water.
New Jersey S1043 requires the Department of Environmental Protection to conduct annual assessments of unregulated perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in drinking water to determine if new standards are needed. It also mandates an assessment of whether current PFAS standards sufficiently protect children's health, considering their lower average body weight. The bill defines PFAS as fluorinated organic chemicals with at least one fully fluorinated carbon atom. The DEP must report findings to the Governor and Legislature and publish them on its website.
