EPA’s list of “forever chemicals” subject to mandatory release reporting requirements will grow by one, a decision that follows precedent from previous years to continue expanding the reporting list.
The agency announced Tuesday it would add sodium perfluorohexanesulfonate (PFHxS-Na) to the Toxics Release Inventory, bringing the number of PFAS subject to TRI up to 206.
EPA in a news release said the addition of PFHxS-Na to the inventory supports the Trump administration’s agenda “by informing decision-making about chemical management by companies and government agencies.”

PFHxS-Na is one of the related salts of PFHxS, one of the six PFAS subject to the Biden administration’s first-ever drinking water standards for the chemical family.
