A second Trump administration would cripple the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's ability to protect the public from toxic 'forever chemicals,' The Guardian reported Sunday, citing experts inside and outside the agency. Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances , a class of about 16,000 synthetic compounds that break down only very slowly, have been linked to a wide array of serious medical conditions including cancer.

Project 2025, a roadmap for Republican governance produced by the right-wing Heritage Foundation, proposes deregulation of PFAS, narrowing the definition of the class of toxic compounds, and elimination of the EPA office that assesses chemicals' toxicity.
