Minnesota’s Amara’s Law is the nation’s strictest measure regulating PFAS, or “forever chemicals.” Found in everyday products, the compounds have been linked to cancer and other health issues. The law phases out the manufacture and sale of nonessential PFAS products by 2032.

No Longer A “Conspiracy Theory” Forever Chemicals in our tap water have become to bad and so widely discussed the EPA is FINALLY deciding to regulate 6 types of PFAs “Linked to serious health effects including an increased risk of cancer” Unfortunately it’ll take 5 years… “The first time the EPA is limiting the amount of so-called forever chemicals found in drinking water. The new rule targets synthetic chemicals known as PFAs, which are linked to serious health effects including an increased risk of cancer. The chemicals can be found in the tap water supplying hundreds of millions of Americans. The EPA now requiring water companies to lower six types of PFAs to near zero levels. Water utilities will have up to five years to reach that goal. The bipartisan infrastructure law provides $9 billion to help with the contamination.”

NEW: The EPA is beginning to allow the use of pesticides containing PFAS on food. These new forever chemicals will be sprayed on our food “Last week, the agency approved the use of two new pesticides that qualify as PFAS. It means that farmers could spread them on crops like romaine lettuce, broccoli and potatoes. The Washington Post is reporting that agency plans to approve four more pesticides. Not much is known about their long-term impact, but PFAS have been linked to certain cancers, birth defects and other health problems. In a statement to the News Hour today, the EPA said it will provide transparent, science-based information on how the chemicals are evaluated.”

The EPA announced a rollback of Biden-era regulations on PFAS chemicals in drinking water systems across the country. The agency estimates that more than 158 million Americans are exposed to these "forever chemicals" through drinking water. John Yang speaks to Amudalat Ajasa for more.

The EPA is starting to allow the use of pesticides containing PFAS on food. The move is part of an effort to roll back the regulation of PFAS — also known as "forever chemicals" because they don't break down easily in the environment. The agency last week approved the use of two new pesticides that qualify as PFAS. Farmers could spread them on crops such as romaine lettuce, broccoli and potatoes. While not a lot is known about their long-term impact, the chemicals have been linked to certain cancers, birth defects and other health problems.

3.5 million tons of treated human sewage sludge are spread on UK farmland every year as “cheap fertiliser”… and it’s loaded with forever chemicals (PFAS) and microplastics that don’t break down. A government-funded report 8 years ago already warned these contaminants in sludge “may present a risk to human health” — potentially accumulating in crops, affecting the immune system, and linked to long-term cancer risk. Yet the testing rules haven’t been updated since 1989. No routine checks for PFAS or microplastics. Water companies and government declined to be interviewed. Water UK’s response: “It’s up to the government to set standards.” Clip from Jonah Fisher’s report — the quiet scandal fertilising Britain’s food chain. Would you eat crops grown with sewage sludge containing forever chemicals? Or is this another “safe until proven dangerous” situation we should wake up to? Your thoughts — drop them below.

The Trump administration is moving to roll back limits on some PFAS, the toxic “forever chemicals” found in the drinking water of millions of Americans. The Biden-era rule set the first national drinking-water limits for several PFAS compounds. But industry groups argued the standards were legally flawed and too costly to meet. William Brangham has more.

Today the EPA proposed repealing limits on multiple types of “forever chemicals” in drinking water. If finalized, the Trump administration proposal would end drinking water limits for four toxic PFAS.

In Maine, toxic "forever chemicals" known as PFAS were present in wastewater sludge spread decades ago as fertilizer. Farmers were told this fertilizer was safe to use and using it would help their local municipalities. Instead, these toxic chemicals devastated some of our family farmers and rendered farm land and products unusable. The University of Maine is now a leader in research on how to address and remove PFAS, and it is critical the federal government continue to support this work. I've secured nearly $33 million through the Agriculture Appropriations bill over the past five years for the Agricultural Research Service at the University of Maine to establish a new Center of Excellence for PFAS Solutions, and will continue working to help farmers who are facing the consequences of PFAS contamination through no fault of their own.
