The Biden Administration has taken steps to address the environmental problems posed by PFAS contamination. The U.S. Supreme Court recently made a ruling overturning the "Chevron Doctrine," and it has environmentalists alarmed. The implications on PFAS regulation and clean-up are already being felt and could have implications right here in Michigan. That's the topic WEMU's David Fair and Michigan League of Conservation Voters executive director Lisa Wozniak chose for the September edition of "1st Friday Focus on the Environment." Their guest is among those concerned about the ramifications. John Reeder is Vice President of Federal Affairs with the Environmental Working Group.

Toxic PFAS "forever chemicals" are a worsening problem in our land and water and, now, our food supply. Beef produced at a small Livingston County farm was found to contain PFAS. How prevalent is the problem? WEMU's David Fair and Lisa Wozniak of the Michigan League of Conservation Voters explore this specific issue in context of the larger PFAS problem with Tony Spaniola, co-chair of the Great Lakes PFAS Action Network.
