Summary: An individual is urging the EPA to include mifepristone and related compounds on the Drinking Water Contaminant Candidate List. They argue that the government has not sufficiently investigated the risks posed by these drugs entering wastewater systems and request a study to ensure public safety.
Our communities depend on safe drinking water, and I am asking the EPA to investigate whether mifepristone and related compounds are entering waterways. The government has not done enough due diligence on what happens after these drugs are used and flushed into wastewater systems. That is exactly why the EPA should study whether residues in wastewater create broader risks. I want children, parents, and future generations to have safe water and honest information about what may be in it. Please use the EPA's authority to investigate this problem and provide the public with clear answers.
