EPA scientists linked PFNA with developmental, liver and reproductive harms. Their final report was ready in mid-April, according to an internal document reviewed by ProPublica, but it has yet to be released by the Trump administration. By @fastlerner.bsky.social

An EPA report found that the forever chemical PFNA interferes with human development and likely causes damage to the liver and male reproductive systems. The agency has sat on the report for months. “Scientifically, it was done,” said one scientist. By @fastlerner.bsky.social

The forever chemical PFNA is so hazardous that the EPA struck an agreement with 8 companies to phase it out nearly two decades ago. Now an EPA report on its harms sits in limbo, and the Trump administration won’t say when it will be released. By @fastlerner.bsky.social

This story is about the report that hasn't been published - but it's also about IRIS, the part of EPA that wrote it and has been assessing the toxicity of chemicals for decades. Of 55 scientists who worked on recent IRIS report, only 8 remain in their posts. www.propublica.org/article/epa-...

When @fastlerner.bsky.social reported in April that the EPA was going to stop collecting greenhouse gas emissions data from most polluters, it wouldn't admit it was eliminating the requirements. Today it announced the change, saying it's "cutting unnecessary red tape" & "unleashing American energy."
