CALPIRG: Tell Governor Newsom: Protect our Drinking Water from Toxic PFAS Chemicals

Millions of Californians could be drinking water contaminated by toxic PFAS, increasing our risk of cancer and other health threats. Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), commonly called "forever chemicals" are increasingly seen as one of the most significant environmental and public health threats of our time. These man-made chemicals are used in everything from cleaning products to cookware to make things stain proof, water resistant and nonstick. The California State Legislature passed legislation in September that would prohibit PFAS from being used in cookware, cleaning products, food packaging, children's products, ski wax and dental floss. Tell Governor Newsom to sign this legislation! Act HERE.
