The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) issued a correction to a notice previously published on December 26, 2024, in the Federal Register, regarding ambient water quality criteria. The error in Table 1's entry for the PFOA Organism Only Human Health Criteria (HHC) incorrectly reported a value of 0.00036 ng/L, which has been corrected to 0.0036 ng/L. The correction aims to ensure the published information accurately reflects EPA's standards for water quality. Comments on this correction are invited until February 24, 2025.
Simple Explanation
The EPA made a fix to a number in their water safety rules to make sure it's right. They changed a tiny number in their list from 0.00036 to 0.0036 to help keep the water safe for all of us.
