PFAS, also called “forever chemicals” because they never degrade in nature, continue to contaminate our drinking water, food, and soil. These toxic chemicals have been linked to high blood pressure, cancer and harm to reproductive and immune systems. Worst still, the companies behind PFAS knew as early as the 1960s that these chemicals were toxic to humans, yet have done nothing to protect our health. This is a major national health issue that requires federal protections. Companies responsible for PFAS are spending billions to lobby against regulations. But our health is not something to be brushed under the rug in favor of corporate money – we refuse to jeopardize ourselves for the sake of business interests. Congress must regulate PFAS and prioritize our health. Thanks for all you do, Erin Tulley, Daily Kos. | |||||
