The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has released draft guidance addressing potential risks from PFOA and PFOS in sewage sludge and biosolids. The guidance reflects the agency’s ongoing efforts to better understand and manage PFAS-related risks while seeking input from stakeholders on possible approaches to risk reduction.
In an article published by Law360, Gordon Rees Scully Mansukhani Senior Counsel, Ayodeji Ayolola, analyzes the EPA’s draft guidance, including the agency’s concerns about its earlier draft risk assessment. He touches upon the EPA’s proposed voluntary recommendations, the questions posed to stakeholders, and the potential implications for utilities, farmers, states, tribes, and other parties as the agency considers its next steps.
Ayolola has nearly a decade of experience defending exposure matters in toxic tort litigation. He represents manufacturers, suppliers, contractors, and other businesses in toxic tort matters involving alleged exposure and contamination using early issue-spotting, disciplined discovery, and strategic execution to achieve favorable outcomes.
