.@epaleezeldin announces nearly $1B in grants to address PFAS, or "forever chemicals," in the drinking water of small and disadvantaged communities. "We also believe that those who placed PFAS into the environment should be the ones responsible for the legacy cleanup costs."

Drinking water can be a meaningful source of microplastics and associated chemicals, including BPA and PFAS, and reverse osmosis is one of the most effective ways to reduce them. I recently installed a reverse osmosis filter on my kitchen faucet. I wanted filtered water not only for drinking and cooking, but also for washing produce. Soil and water contamination can expose fruits and vegetables to persistent chemicals, so this gives me another practical way to reduce daily exposure. The most important thing is to look for an NSF certification that covers the contaminants you care about and review the system’s performance data. That should tell you what the filter has actually been tested to reduce, and by how much. It can also help address concerns about plastic particles being introduced by the filtration system itself. No filter eliminates every exposure. But because we use water every day, reverse osmosis can be a useful way to reduce the total burden from microplastics and persistent chemicals.

The Trump administration has approved the use of cancer-linked pesticide trifludimoxazin, a PFAS forever chemical. This is the fifth PFAS pesticide approved for use on food crops during Trump's second term.

The Trump administration has approved the use of cancer-linked pesticides diflufenican and epyrifenacil, both PFAS forever chemicals. Neither pesticide has ever been used in the United States before.

🇺🇸 AOC thinks Democrats can win over MAHA voters by going after CORPORATE CORRUPTION. She argues that concerns about toxic chemicals, contaminated drinking water and unhealthy food aren't just health issues. They're also about companies having too much influence over the people supposed to regulate them. From PFAS in clothing and cookware to polluted water in rural communities, AOC says ordinary Americans are paying the price. And that's where she sees common ground with RFK Jr.'s MAHA movement: people want to know why harmful chemicals are still making their way into everyday life. Writer: Oliver

100% cotton clothes is not enough. they can be loaded with chemicals... 96% of cotton is sprayed with glyphosate. then clothes are soaked in formaldehyde to prevent wrinkling, sprayed with stain resistant chemicals high in PFAS, and dyed with toxic colors. you need to read clothing labels like ingredient labels and find 100% organic, natural clothes.

so let me get this straight... we thought it was a good idea to dres speople up in plastic clothes head to toe... then tell them to do intense workouts where their clothes heat up, their pores open up and the clothes shed their microplastics and PFAS into the bloodstream?
