Pics are my family's frightening PFOA only blood levels. Continuing search for knowledge, advocacy work, legislation & sharing necessary awareness of toxic PFAS
Also taking a rather refreshing view over here: @pfoaprojectny.bsky.social / Do follow for all things #PFAS
Opinion: The PFAS Alternatives Act is a path toward safer firefighting. "Many firefighters do not know that the greatest threat may not be the blazes they extinguish but the very gear designed to safeguard them." ehn.org/pfas-alternati…
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…
“Bennett cited research from Notre Dame University showing that one turf field could contaminate 800,000 gallons of water per year with PFAS, above federal limits.” nancyonnorwalk.com/pfas-contamina…
❗️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…
There is NO other news today. Period. I proudly and loudly rode his crazy train. 😢😢
Ozzy Forever!
Trump’s EPA has: -Killed $15 million in research into forever chemicals in farmlands -Attempted to roll back forever chemical limits in drinking water -Delayed rules requiring corporations to report their forever chemical usage How does this “make America healthy again”?
Found that people with higher levels of #PFAS in their blood were up to 31% more likely to develop diabetes. PFAS already linked to cancers, reproductive harm, immune system suppression, obesity, liver disease & diabetes, to name but a few. @epaleezeldin why roll back regs- WTH??
22/7/25. Forever chemicals in household objects linked to type 2 diabetes, scientists warn. PFAS can disrupt metabolism and increase diabetes risk, study finds independent.co.uk/news/health/fo…
"One of the things that ORD had the responsibility for, and really did a great service, was looking down the road at emerging issues, whether it was endocrine disruptors, #PFAS compounds, microplastics.. That particular function appears to be lost"
"We’re really at a crossroads now of what we expect from government ... the American people are going to get shortchanged." thenewlede.org/2025/07/qa-a-f… @PEERorg @thenewledenews @EPA
The bill includes a provision (Section 507) that would permanently prohibit the EPA from finalizing, implementing or enforcing its Draft Risk Assessment for PFOA and PFOS in Sewage Sludge (January 2025). That’s right—permanently. #PFAS With the known extent, how stupid is this???
The ruling party in Congress seems to be going after farmers’ health with a policy rider that will muzzle the science on PFAS. @LFO barnraisingmedia.com/house-gop-farm…
Over 73 million people in the US are being exposed to toxic #PFAS chemicals in their tap water, according to an @NRDC analysis of data from an @EPA water monitoring program. thenewlede.org/2025/07/new-ma…
"These maps demonstrate that tens of millions of people across the country are currently at risk of drinking #PFAS -contaminated water, and that risk may only increase for many years to come if the EPA successfully rolls back and delays PFAS standards." nrdc.org/resources/new-…
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
To other communities out there experiencing #PFAS contamination - "I hope that our entire community rising up with grit & persistence, arduous as it has been on so many, is proof positive" (that David can beat Goliath on occasion) TY @RachelFrazin! thehill.com/policy/energy-…
Discuss “Something Between Us” by Anand Pandian, including a chapter on Newburgh, Hoosick Falls and their PFAS struggles. July 15th 6:00-7:30pm. Register here - sparkofhudson.org/upcoming-event…
I wonder what in earth could have gone on inside his head when he cancelled this? Maybe, ‘Let them eat contaminated cake’? Trump has removed $15m in research into #Pfas contamination of US farmland, essential for understanding a worrying source of widespread food contamination
In yesterday's federal register, a meeting of the National Drinking Water Advisory Council was announced for July 28 from 1:00-4:30 eastern. The only thing on their agenda is the #PFAS drinking water standards. See info below, and how to comment: govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR…
- PFAS forever chemicals above proposed safety limits in nearly all English rivers, lakes & ponds, study finds - levels of internationally banned PFOS in fish were 322 times above proposed safety limits on average Our new article out now: share.google/yNVcy1gRZGd1SD…
American communities are exposed daily, often unknowingly & many face serious, disproportionate health risks. We cannot afford more watered-down regs & loopholes for industrial source polluters. The science is clear: @EPA & lawmakers must act decisively & with urgency #PFAS
Recent research from Waterkeeper Alliance warns that 98% of tested waterways across 19 states contain PFAS, and the problem is particularly noticeable in areas downstream from water treatment plants and sites where biosolids are applied. ecowatch.com/pfas-waterways…
Zeldin has said repeatedly that he wants to hold polluters accountable for PFAS, but his EPA requested three delays in the court case challenging the Superfund designation that helps make it possible. Article by: @propublica
👏🇩🇰 We welcome the decision of the Danish Environmental Protection Agency to withdraw the authorisation of 23 #PFAS #pesticides that can form and leach #TFA into groundwater. This persistent, mobile and reprotoxic PFAS is a threat to our drinking water. pan-europe.info/blog/denmark-b…
