EPA to limit toxic 'forever chemicals' in drinking water

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 06:07:16 GMT

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Environmental Protection Agency on Tuesday proposed the first federal limits on harmful “forever chemicals” in drinking water, a long-awaited protection the agency said will save thousands of lives and prevent serious illnesses, including cancer.The plan would limit toxic PFAS chemicals to the lowest level that tests can detect. PFAS, or per- and polyfluorinated substances, are a group of compounds that are widespread, dangerous and expensive to remove from water. They don’t degrade in the environment and are linked to a broad range of health issues, including low birthweight and kidney cancer.“The science is clear that long-term exposure to PFAS is linked to significant health risks,” Radhika Fox, assistant EPA administrator for water, said in an interview.Fox called the federal proposal a “transformational change” for improving the safety of drinking water in the United States.

Private sector hiring in Colorado sees disappointing results in January

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 06:07:16 GMT

Private-sector employers in the state failed to grow their payrolls in January, a disappointing start to the new year, but revisions show the state’s unemployment rate was much lower than first thought in 2022, according to a delayed update from the Colorado Department of Labor and Employment.Employers added 800 jobs in January, but those came entirely from the public sector, and they represented a sharp comedown from last year’s average of 5,225 jobs added a month. Educational and health services added 2,200 jobs, while professional and business services added 1,300 on a seasonally-adjusted basis. But on the other side of the teeter-totter, financial activities lost 1,300 jobs and construction lost 1,100.“Weather could have been a factor in the lack of job growth. It was a cold and snowy January,” said Ryan Gedney, a senior economist with the CDLE, during a news call on Monday.Construction hiring is especially vulnerable to bad weather, but something bigger ...
