Dive into Clear Waters, Cloudy Safety on InsightBit! The EPA’s plan to roll back PFAS regulations threatens NY’s water & public safety. Keeping PFOA/PFOS limits at 4ppt but delaying action & scrapping other rules, the EPA calls it “flexible.” Advocates like Rob Hayes warn of health risks—cancer, immune issues—hitting places like Hoosick Falls. This fuels distrust, crime (Newburgh’s rate: 8.7/1,000), & police strain. Conservatives push state-led enforcement; progressives demand federal oversight. NY’s $6B water investment fights back, but legal gaps loom. Is clean water a right?
