Ditto for here in the US with EPA Zeldin looking to approve more pesticides with #PFAS. Stupid, or even disgusting, aren't strong enough words, particularly given the nasty health effects on children.

S PASSED: @senatorharckham.bsky.social bill: ban selling consumer products with #PFAS intentionally added as of '28 -Companion bill sponsored by @rachelmayny.bsky.social concerns industrial discharge. @speakercarlheastie.bsky.social GET THEM ON THE DAMN FLOOR THIS TIME www.news10.com/capitol/ny-s...

FDA doesn’t yet fully understand potential health risks of applying these to the skin on a daily basis. "All commercial grades of PTFE are contaminated with PFOA and PFOS, two of the most notorious and well-studied #PFAS." Um, and carcinogenic! Horrifying. www.ewg.org/news-insight...

As Congress debates changes to the federal chemical safety law, North Carolina’s PFAS crisis offers a warning #ncpol #ncga #pfas www.wunc.org/environment/...

Toxic “forever” chemicals known as PFAS have been found at levels above the EPA’s safety thresholds in all but three states. We have been working to uphold the standards that protect Americans from PFAS, despite the current administration’s moves to weaken them.

A total of 18 states have #PFAS product restrictions ranging from bans to reporting to labeling requirements. The laws target primarily food packaging, cosmetics, cookware, and textiles, but some states (listed) have expansive laws that include all types of products. www.hunton.com/the-nickel-r...

PFOA caused more pronounced neurodevelopmental toxicity and behavioral abnormalities than PFBA - but - co-exposure further exacerbated these detrimental phenotypes and triggered a cellular energy metabolism crisis. #PFAS www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Yet another industry that knew for decades (in the 90s) about #PFAS harms. It's an ongoing, disturbing theme. www.gpb.org/news/2026/02...

The issue brief shares four case studies: #PFAS (‘Forever Chemicals’) — Suppressing Evidence of Toxicity, Bisophenol A (BPA) — Attacking Independent Science, Benzene — Front Groups and Policy Influence, Pesticides — Combined Disinformation Strategies. www.ciel.org/reports/scie...

“Basically, (it’s) a new threshold for what is acceptable in groundwater. It matches what’s acceptable in drinking water systems. And that number is basically four parts per trillion for the most common #PFAS substances. It had been 20 (parts per trillion)” www.benningtonbanner.com/local-news/s...

A crisis emerges across the US as ‘forever chemicals’ quietly contaminate drinking water wells #PFAS apnews.com/article/pfas...

From the Document team @nhpr.org, Safe to Drink is a 4-part series about the water contamination story that keeps repeating in town after town & about the people who fought for answers through a maze of chemistry, regulations, & illnesses. Honored to be included! #PFAS www.nhpr.org/nhpr-present...

Falsely advertises its Miracle-Gro organic soil and fertilizer products as organic when lab tests confirm the products contain synthetic, non-organic and harmful #PFAS “forever chemicals. Via @gmofreeusa.bsky.social

They coexist with microplastics because of different practices, which include biosolid application, facility, livestock, and crop safety mitigation, irrigation, and transportation of agricultural products #PFAS www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Our analysis revealed associations between exposure to both legacy and alternative #PFAS and neurobehavioral outcomes in school-aged children, notably those pesky, "safer" alternatives www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

EPA Webinar 2/18 - "progress of EPA’s core mission to protect children’s health" & "how ACE is dedicated to better empowering parents & caregivers with practical guidance & resources under Make America Healthy Again". Just imagine the upcoming, nauseating spin... usepa.zoomgov.com/webinar/regi...

The #PFAS issue has & is going to be (understandably but sadly, too) buried for awhile, For now, sharing this welcomed & necessary blend of 2 phenomenal songs - - TY @dmbofficial.bsky.social & @tommorelloofficial.bsky.social for the reminder. Also looking forward to Green Day slaying at 1/2 time!

These pesticide approvals mark only the beginning of this administration’s push to unleash more #PFAS pesticides across the United States: The Trump EPA has proposed approving four more PFAS pesticides in the coming year. thehill.com/opinion/ener...

👇👇👇👇👇👇Make no mistake - this isn't a hearing on 'modernization. It's desirable rollbacks at the bequest of polluters and industry, full stop.

⚠️ You shouldn’t have to worry that your shampoo, cookware, or drinking water might harm your health. ☣️ 🗣️ Tell Congress to put public health and safety before the profits of chemical companies! 📝 Take action here: https://actionnetwork.org/letters/stop-congress-from-gutting-chemical-safety-laws/

IMPORTANT Environment Subcommittee hearing today on TSCA rollbacks - 2:00 pm - link to watch live in article #PFAS prheucsf.blog/2026/01/21/t...

“Significant uncertainties"= We don't have toxicological or health safety data on these #PFAS but let's allow industry to put the untested shit in there anyway because they'll make a boatload of money. That's what we've always done - to hell with the consequences. beautymatter.com/articles/pfa...

“Taken together, the two studies show that #PFAS exposures not only disrupt liver biology but also translate into real liver disease risk in youth” keck.usc.edu/news/forever...

🚨 A new chemical industry-backed House bill would roll back key federal protections from toxic chemicals and weaken safeguards that protect our families. This bill is a chemical industry wish list disguised as “reform,” and it threatens our health, our environment, and our communities.

Advocacy groups are suing the EPA over approval of a PFAS “forever chemical” insecticide linked to cancer risk, pollinator harm, and threats to endangered species. This raises urgent questions about chemical oversight and health. tinyurl.com/mtfjakm4 #PFAS #ClimateJustice #Health #Biodiversity

It would appear, with current EPA rollbacks on #PFAS regs and TSCA, HHS/MAHA doing absolutely squat on the subject, and an EPA staff full of industry shills, that FDA Makary is simply full of shit claiming to 'update and strengthen recommendations'. www.personalcareinsights.com/news/fda-pfa...

Hundreds of environmental and health groups are urging Congress not to weaken the nation’s premier chemical safety law: the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA). @stoptoxics.bsky.social @cleanaircatf.bsky.social @earthjustice.org www.thenewlede.org/2026/01/tsca...

Federal officials have identified more than 1,700 cosmetic products that intentionally add 'forever chemicals' known as PFAS. Researchers found that safety data for most of these chemicals is unavailable or incomplete. www.healthday.com/health-news/...

NYS again adds to the growing list of banning toxic #PFAS! HUGE round of applause to all those involved in getting this over the finish line!! @lindabrosenthal.bsky.social @cleanhealthyny.bsky.social @bobbiwilding.bsky.social @cpferrante.bsky.social @kate-donovan.bsky.social @weact4ej.bsky.social

"Thursday’s hearing represents a key test of whether Congress will defend communities exposed to #PFAS or bend to industry pressure." TIME: 10 a.m. ET

PFAS can cause serious health consequences. Yet manufacturers make them anyway — risking the well-being of our communities. That’s why Sen. Gillibrand and I reintroduced the PFAS Accountability Act to help exposure victims get justice.

Celebrity chefs told Californians that PFAS-coated pans were “safe,” and successfully lobbied Gavin Newsom to veto a bill phasing them out They didn’t mention they all sell PFAS-coated pans. New joint investigation with @mirandagreen.bsky.social and @atmosmag.bsky.social is out:

Someone please make this make sense: They're calling for a plan to expedite #PFAS cleanup, but are going to approve using the same shit that's caused the massive contamination at 100s of bases for years longer, that they have been banned from buying for the past two years ?????

This should be the easiest bill you sign this year @governor.ny.gov I can't fathom one reason why you wouldn't want to protect women, and especially young girls who could suffer a lifetime of health harms, from this toxic crap #PFAS Learn from Hoosick Falls. We've suffered enough. t.co/S5Om4kCImM

"Removing #PFAS from drinking water not only results in drastically improved health outcomes. It also produces a significant long-term economic benefit." Contamination imposes costs of at least $8 billion on the babies born each year. BABIES!! news.arizona.edu/news/new-res...

The health burden from phthalates, bisphenols, pesticides and #PFAS amounts to up to $2.2tn a year – driving increased rates of cancer, neurodevelopmental conditions, infertility, endocrine disruption (to name a few)

So Sec Kennedy going on about "infant formula in a mother's breast", and yet absolute silence on the known effects of toxic #PFAS on babies. Zeldin needs to read this, too. Another in the long list of examples of truly horrifying, jaw dropping data on harms: theconversation.com/pfas-in-preg...

"Allowing more #PFAS pesticides – and disparaging safer organic alternatives – won’t make America healthy again. And contaminating our farmland with persistent forever chemicals won’t help the farmers who feed us." VIA @ewgofficial.bsky.social www.ewg.org/news-insight...

“Opposition of the land application of biosolids that have detectable amounts of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances #PFAS and/or elevated levels of heavy metals,” was highlighted in a press release as a policy resolution for '26". GREAT! spectrumlocalnews.com/nys/central-...

Human milk contained both legacy & emerging #PFAS & infants PFAS consumption through breastfeeding (As Zeldin fights to roll back PFNA & PFHXS regs) 98% had levels higher than EFSA acceptable weekly intake -The kicker? Study funded by the EPA & NIH What the hell man?? www.medrxiv.org/content/10.6...

Is your state checking?? #PFAS www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

How can one not be thoroughly disgusted that EPA is rolling back all kinds of regulations of this toxic crap?? Study adds to the LONG list: "the initial effect of #PFAS on a child during pregnancy may grow to have even greater impact later in a child’s life" ncats.nih.gov/news-events/...

Scientist @hanspeterarp.bsky.social warns, "It’s accumulating in our tap water, the food we’re eating, plants, trees, the sea, + all in the past few decades”. David Behringer adds, “If you’re drinking water, you’re drinking a lot of TFA, wherever you are in the world" share.google/SZMY7DfaVk9U...

Researchers analyzed gas from 30 landfills across the United States and found #PFAS contamination at every single site. Their data suggest that landfills nationwide may collectively emit nearly a ton of PFAS into the air annually. www.thenewlede.org/2025/11/land...

The EPA Is Embracing PFAS Pesticides. These Are The Health Risks

Good news: World’s largest chemicals group, BASF, will phase out #PFAS by '28. US-based Ecolab will exit PFAS by '26 -nervous investors & financial risk after 3M fiasco. Chemours & Solvay closed plants this year in France, but not in U.S. (Chemours trying to expand in NC) chemsec.org/worlds-bigge...
