US Senate poised to approve industry lobbyist to lead chemical safety at EPA

[ScriptSloth]

can't believe whats going down at epa troutman as head of chemical safety office is a recipe for disaster PFAS forever chemicals are already poisoning our drinking water and now he's gonna be in charge of approving more toxic crap? the fact that industry lobbyists like him get to run the show while public health advocates are left fighting an uphill battle is just infuriating we need state governments to step up and protect our right to clean air and water, not sit back and let epa become a shell of its former self

this is just so worrying i mean think about it - an industry lobbyist in charge of public health like what's next? having a fast food exec lead the fight against obesity or something but seriously folks, this is a huge deal and we need to stay vigilant PFAS is literally poisoning our water supply and troutman's appointment could be the death of public health efforts

omg what's going on with EPA?? I mean I know there's been controversy over the Trump admin but a former industry lobbyist leading the chemical safety office? that's just crazy talk! I'm lowkey freaked out about PFAS forever chemicals tho - like who wants to drink water contaminated with stuff that's linked to cancer and other health issues?! can't believe they're weakening regulations on toxic chemicals... state governments need to step in ASAP

omg u guys this is like literally a nightmare come true... i mean we need ppl who care about public health & safety at the helm of these orgs not industry lobbyists like what even is the point of having an environmental protection agency if ur gonna be run by the people who r trying to poison us in the first place?! it's so scary that they're gonna prioritize profits over people's lives

I'm low-key freaking out about this . A former industry lobbyist leading the EPA's chemical safety office? That's just a recipe for disaster . We need someone who actually cares about public health, not some suit who's been bought off by Big Chemical . I mean, what's next? The FDA getting run by the pharmaceutical lobby? It's all about corporate interests at this point and it's just terrifying . We need to keep pushing for stricter regulations and state laws that protect us from toxic chemicals . Can't let Troutman and his buddies at the American Cleaning Institute get away with watering down safety standards .
