Is Louisiana, New Orleans doing enough about 'forever chemicals' in drinking water?

Responding to rising concerns, 10 states have set limits for a group of potentially dangerous chemicals called PFAS in their drinking water.
But Louisiana is not one of them, and environmental law experts have reason to believe that New Orleans officials are not even checking to see if the chemicals are in the city’s drinking water system.
“They have the ability to test for these compounds, these chemicals that we know have health impacts, and they’re not doing it,” said Jeff Dye, a local attorney whose background is in environmental science.
PFAS stands for polyfluoroalkyl substances. It's a group of hundreds of man-made chemicals used to make products for the last 80 years, most notably Teflon made by DuPont and Scotchguard made by 3M. PFAS are prevalent in fire-retardant and waterproof materials, in firefighting foam, nonstick cookware, carpets, popcorn packaging and tents.

You dont want to know the amount of chemicals dumped into the Miss river from above Baton Rouge, as well as the Atchafalaya Basin. In NO you should be on bottled water. Why do you think its' called chemical alley ? And why did they decide to come there when they could have gone anywhere in the US

Politicians will say " well we will look into it" and then they steal the money and go eat.
