美国环保署将微塑料和药品列入饮用水污染物名单. EPA adds microplastics and pharmaceuticals to drinking water contaminant list.

美国环保署建议将微塑料和药品加入饮用水污染物清单,以回应公众的关注. The EPA proposed adding microplastics and pharmaceuticals to its list of drinking water contaminants, responding to public concern. 宣布这项计划,开启了60天的评论期, 与卫生部长罗伯特·肯尼迪小时提出的解决这些物质问题的倡议一致. The announcement, which opens a 60-day comment period, aligns with Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s initiative to address these substances. 专家指出,列入名单只是第一步, 因为该机构往往未能为此类污染物设定可执行的限制. Experts note that being on the list is just the first step, as the agency often fails to set enforceable limits for such contaminants.
