Summary: A Pennsylvania resident is requesting that the EPA add mifepristone and its metabolites to the Drinking Water Contaminant Candidate List. The commenter argues that the public deserves confidence in water safety and that the EPA should prioritize monitoring these substances for reproductive health risks.
As a Pennsylvania resident, I am reaching out because families deserve confidence that our water is being monitored for emerging health risks. Mifepristone is designed to disrupt progesterone, a hormone that matters for reproductive health. The EPA should gather data, test water systems, and report clearly to the public. As someone who values both health and environmental stewardship, I believe this issue deserves immediate attention. Please add these chemicals and metabolites to the contaminants list and begin meaningful monitoring now.
