On April 2, 2026, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency released draft CCL 6 and, for the first time in the candidate-list program, included microplastics and pharmaceuticals as priority contaminant groups. The...
Well water can look clear and taste normal while still containing substances that need attention. Groundwater reflects local geology, land use, well construction, plumbing, and recent events such as flooding....
