EXCLUSIVE — Rep. Matt Gaetz is demanding answers from the Environmental Protection Agency for forcing a major water filtration system to label itself a"pesticide."

The move by the EPA would force Berkey and millions of other water filters to put"aggressive warning signs" on their products that would give the appearance that it is a hazardous material. It has been approved by the EPA for such use since the 1990s, and water filtration accounts for 90% of silver's pesticidal use, according to the EPA fact sheet.

Berkey systems have been on the market for 25 years without any problems, and Gaetz is demanding an explanation from the EPA as to why it"just now" decided to regulate the systems.
