This represents regulatory capture and deregulation with genuine constitutional implications. A-score: Rule of law (2.5) reflects weakening of environmental regulatory framework; civil_rights (3.0) reflects public health impacts from forever chemicals exposure affecting broad population; capture (4.0) is high given EPA's apparent industry alignment in approving harmful substances; corruption (2.0) reflects potential industry influence. Severity multipliers: durability 1.2 (forever chemicals persist indefinitely), reversibility 0.95 (policy reversible but environmental damage harder), precedent 1.15 (second approval in two weeks establishes pattern). Mechanism modifier 1.15 for policy_change, scope 1.2 for federal/broad. Final A: 27.26. B-score: High outrage_bait (7) and media_friendliness (8) for 'forever chemicals' framing, moderate meme_ability (6), lower novelty (4) as environmental deregulation is expected pattern. Layer 2 modest as this is substantive policy not strategic distraction. Low intentionality (3) - pattern repetition noted but appears driven by deregulatory agenda rather than distraction strategy. Final B: 18.56. Delta: +8.7 favors List A. Crosses A>=25 threshold with positive delta, indicating genuine constitutional damage from regulatory capture.
