Attorneys at Stamford-based Silver Golub & Teitell predict that new federal standards of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances proposed by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency could spark litigation in Connecticut due to its historically high density of manufacturing facilities.

The proposed federal standard for PFAS, the National Primary Drinking Water Regulation, would require public water systems to monitor these so-called forever chemicals, notify the public of the levels, and reduce the levels if they exceed the standards.
