Is it true that in April 2024 the US EPA set enforceable drinking water limits of 4 parts per trillion for the PFAS compounds PFOA and PFOS?
Yes. An EPA news release states the agency set enforceable Maximum Contaminant Levels of 4.0 parts per trillion for PFOA and PFOS individually, matching the claim's limit. Two other sources confirm EPA issued its first federal PFAS drinking water regulation but do not give the 4 ppt figure or the April 2024 date.
