EPA Hits Key Milestone in Expedited Review of Fluoride under the Safe Drinking Water Act
Today, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) announced the next step in its review of public health risks linked to fluoride in drinking water: the release of the Protocol for Developing the Fluoride Human Health Toxicity Assessment.
This marks a significant milestone in the agency¡¯s expedited assessment of fluoride under the Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA), a priority set by EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin as part of the Trump Administration¡¯s commitment to Make America Healthy Again, while following gold standard science.
¡°Every American should be able to count on safe and healthy drinking water, plain and simple. In light of new science and real concerns from the public, the Trump EPA is working in lockstep with HHS to expedite our review of fluoride under the Safe Drinking Water Act,¡± said EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin.
¡°Today¡¯s important milestone means we are another step closer to completing this assessment years ahead of schedule. Our new action outlines specifically how EPA¡¯s assessment will be conducted and advances our commitment to transparency and gold standard science.¡±
¡°Parents deserve the truth about fluoride in drinking water—not assumptions, not politics, but rigorous science,¡± said U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.
"That is why HHS is working side by side with EPA to ensure this assessment focuses on the health risks that matter most for children, including neurodevelopmental effects and dental fluorosis. By conducting a rigorous dose-response analysis and making every step of the process transparent, we will give states, communities, and families the scientific foundation they need to make informed decisions about fluoride in drinking water.¡±
