Hannah Nelson Attorney for the Southern Environmental Law Center

Frustrated residents filled a regulatory meeting Tuesday, calling out a draft PFAS plan they say protects polluters, not people. Instead of voting, members of the Environmental Management Commission’s Water Quality Committee postponed action, again, citing the need for further fiscal review. PFAS, or per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances, are a group of man-made chemicals used in nonstick cookware, firefighting foam and water-resistant products. Hannah Nelson, Attorney for the Southern Environmental Law Center, joined Jeff Hamlin to discuss the chemicals and feedback from the meeting.
