My child‚Äôs school and two others are close to a landfill that is leaking these chemicals. I told her not to drink the water there. We must ensure the safety of these kids. They drink the water at their schools nearly 300 days/year. NO AMOUNT of these Tara Schroeder Tamworth NH 3886 chemicals in their drinking water is safe!!!! Linda Haskins Exeter NH 3833 Amy Hansen Hampton NH 3842 Clean water....required. Marc Lane Stratham NH 3885 Please act on behalf of the health of New Hampshire residents. Drinking water regulations should have high standards yet ours are so low. Please make the changes that Alison Freidlin Newfields NH 3856 we need!

Our #1 in the nation rates for pediatric, breast, bladder and esophageal cancers is more than concerning. People here are sick! To set MCL‚Äôs please use the science that is MOST protective of human health- as that should be the priority. NJ, VT, and other states are leading by example. Please follow theirs. I ask that you don‚Äôt ignore or cherry-pick the science prioritizing cost to business, or put corporate wealth over public health. The EPA is failing in its Nancy Murphy Merrimack NH 3054 mission and already doing that. Thank you. Government‚Äôs most basic function is the safety of its citizens. As we learn more of the negative impact that these ‚Äòforever chemicals‚Äô are having on human health, new data suggests there may actually be no safe level of exposure. We ask our elected officials to enact stricter regulations, using the CDC‚Äôs recommendations and the precautionary principle, to protect the citizens of NH. Given what we know Kim Loosmann Newfields NH 3856 thus far, we can‚Äôt afford to wait!
