As I have said many times, we should not be paying for what we did not cause! Polluters like Saint Gobain are knowingly poisoning people all over our nation! Dang, the Boston Globe printed what NH media never would. Thank you @BostonGlobe bostonglobe.com/2022/05/30/opi…
Thank you for helping elevate a story of hope in these difficult times for communities @EarthDay ! Hope @epaleezeldin gives it a watch!

When the ACC applauds these decisions, it’s clear that our health and environment are not being considered
EPA pulls chemical recycling proposal addressing PFAS and other contaminants wastedive.com/news/epa-chemi… via @WasteDive EPA once again putting the polluters before the people. @SenSchumer @SenGillibrand @SenJeffMerkley @ewg
#TOXIC_ #FoodTimes_ The council’s language is deliberately cautious. They’re pushing common sense, but there’s a real concern behind it: The routine consumption of local #vegetables could mean exposure to up to eight times the amount of PFAS that is safe. #PFAS
Food Standards Agency says people regularly eating a lot of vegetables from allotments near the AGC Chemicals Plant, Lancashire, could be consuming up to 8 times the tolerable weekly limit of PFAS. The council says people should take a "better safe than sorry" approach to eating…
💧 They call it “recycled” – but it’s still full of PFAS, microplastics, & toxic metals. When the rules don’t protect us, wastewater reuse becomes pollution in disguise. buff.ly/ayLQ0i5
A 2023 report found chemical accidents happen nearly every day, so why would the Trump administration eliminate the U.S. Chemical Safety and Hazard Investigation Board? It's currently in the middle of seven investigations. ow.ly/NW9x50WubfC @careygillam @thenewledenews
Ordinary people can be agents of change. We don’t have to be victims. Out on your ruby slippers and join me, folks! Together, we are unstoppable

kffhealthnews.org/news/article/p… A doctor of Maine is the only physician to date I know of who is working to support PFAS exposed patients. We need this approach in our vastly impacted area and in every state .
We need to protect the most vulnerable
As if new moms weren't anxious enough about #PFAS and breast feeding... @Mamavation tested 15 nursing bras from 10 brands, 53% of total nursing bras tested had indications of PFAS. Ranges were from 10 ppm to 276 ppm. mamavation.com/motherhood/nur…
States can take action on what is sold . Consumer products must be safe @NHHouseofReps
❗️A new report found high levels of toxic #PFAS chemicals in eco-friendly menstrual products. The good news? 💪 Seven states have adopted policies banning all PFAS from menstrual products and momentum is growing! #StatesInTheLead cnn.com/2025/07/22/hea…

"Few regulations around chemicals exist, and though the wastewater industry knows the scale of the problem. It’s a 'don’t ask, don’t tell' issue," said @LFO buff.ly/ayLQ0i5
"Our study shows that prenatal PFAS exposure is associated with higher blood pressure ... during adolescence," lead author Zeyu Li said. "This suggests [PFAS] can have ... harmful effects that may only become apparent years after birth." thecooldown.com/green-tech/pre…
These are the highest concentrations of toxic PFAS ever found in wildlife. theguardian.com/environment/20…
🚨 The Trump admin wants to eliminate the @chemsafetyboard, a watchdog that investigates chemical disasters. A coalition warns this puts 177 million Americans at risk. @Earthjustice @steelworkers @UAW @UCSUSA thenewlede.org/2025/07/guttin…
It’s time to get serious about eliminating the scourge of PFAS from our environment. The truth about "forever chemicals," and why states need to take the lead on eliminating them: ow.ly/GHy950WrsuC
Really important work here from @NRDC that calls into question why EPA would eliminate new standards designed to reduce PFAS in drinking water. nrdc.org/press-releases…
