Bill overview
The PFAS Accountability Act of 2021 establishes a federal legal pathway for individuals who believe they’ve been significantly exposed to per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS). It creates a cause of action against companies involved in the manufacturing of PFAS that foreseeably caused human exposure. The bill also allows for medical monitoring for affected individuals and establishes a presumption of significant exposure based on testing results or demonstrated release of PFAS into the environment. Finally, it encourages research into the health effects of PFAS and clarifies that state laws and remedies remain in effect.
