EPA Announces New Drinking Water Health Advisories for Four PFAS Chemicals

June 29, 2022

On June 15, 2022, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) released four drinking water health advisories for per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in the latest action under President Biden’s and the EPA’s PFAS Strategic Roadmap.

The EPA had previously established the health advisory levels at 70 parts per trillion for combined concentrations of PFOA and PFOS.  

The new HALs are as follows:

SubstanceHealth Advisory Level (parts per trillion or ppt)
PFOA0.004 (interim)
PFOS0.02 (interim)
PFBS2,000 (final)
GenX chemicals10 (final)

These health advisory levels are orders of magnitude lower than before, and are likely to trigger lower state-specific standards across the U.S. These interim health advisories will remain in place until EPA establishes a National Primary Drinking Water Regulation, with a goal of issuing the final standards by the end of 2022.  These interim standards for PFOA and PFOS are currently well below laboratory detection limits, which creates a whole new challenge. Brickhouse Environmental’s scientists have continued to hone their expertise in PFAS sampling & analysis, as well as source identification and migration studies in soil, wastewater, and groundwater.  If you have questions on PFAS or related topics, contact David Farrington, P.G. at dfarrington@brickhouse-environmental.com.

Spring Cleaning!

June 29, 2022

The Brickhouse Environmental team took to the streets once again for some serious spring cleaning along the shoulders of the Route 322 West Chester Bypass. Over 30 bags of litter and other debris were collected on this rainy day in May. This is the beginning of our fourth year in the PennDOT Adopt-a-Highway program, as we renewed our commitment to the program for at least the next two years. For those of you familiar with the bypass, it sees a lot of traffic and, unfortunately, a lot of litter. It’s extremely satisfying to see the positive impact of our efforts as we share in this statewide effort to keep our highways and roads clean.  

Next time you’re on the bypass, look for the Brickhouse Environmental sign, and remember to keep our roads and highways clean!
