摘要：鉴于对PFAS的担忧日益加剧，各州正在积极代表其公民提起诉讼，并制定立法以打击这种全国性的污染流行病。然而，鉴于2016年《有毒物质控制法》修正案，希望监管制造或希望批准全州范围内禁止制造此类化学品的州可能会在美国环保署采取的行动下面临优先权。本文重点关注各州在PFAS监管方面可能失去的自主权，并解决了各州可能面临的问题，因为新颁布的TSCA优先购买条款具有限制性。
Abstract Given the amplified concern surrounding PFAS, states are proactively filing lawsuits on behalf of their citizens and enacting legislation to combat this nation-wide contamination epidemic. However, given the 2016 Amendment to the Toxic Substances Control Act, states looking to regulate the manufacturing or looking to ratify a state-wide ban on the manufacturing of such chemicals may face preemption under actions taken by the U.S. EPA. This article focuses on the possible loss of state autonomy with regards to PFAS regulation and addresses issues states might face given the restrictive nature of the newly enacted preemption provisions of TSCA.
