With a wagging finger, Republicans advance appropriations language favoring @Bayer @syngenta and other pesticide makers. @foodandwater calls action "despicable" @thenewledenews thenewlede.org/2025/07/vote-p…
Millions in the U.S. may rely on PFAS-contaminated drinking water 🚨 As the Trump administration delays limits on forever chemicals in drinking water, a new model predicts the locations of contaminated groundwater. ehn.org/pfas-map-trump…
The “despicable vote” will undermine public health and enable pesticide corporations “to profit off dangerous chemicals” while preventing the public from “being any the wiser about the risks to their own health,” said @foodandwater Analyst Rebecca Wolf. thenewlede.org/2025/07/vote-p…
From @USRightToKnow: Some #PFAS have been linked to #cancer, birth defects, liver disease, thyroid disease, decreased immunity, hormone disruption & other serious health problems. Most people in the US have been exposed to some PFAS, according to the CDC shorturl.at/NkHNF
As researchers continue to study talc, Beins recommends using products with talc substitutes like cornstarch. (That’s what J&J now uses instead of talc.) “We can acknowledge the uncertainty and use safer alternatives,” Beins says. #talc #asbestos #cancer shorturl.at/tURKx
Internal #Syngenta documents released by these news outlets in a report dubbed The #Paraquat Papers indicate that the company was aware of scientific evidence linking paraquat to Parkinson’s and attempted to quash research efforts to disclose the evidence. shorturl.at/RaZA6

It brings the total number of people at risk of drinking this contaminated tap water to about 165 million across the U.S. Exposure to #PFAS is linked to #cancer, reproductive harm, immune system damage and other serious health problems, even at low levels. shorturl.at/0KROJ
