PFAS in any amount is linked to many diseases. Don’t let them spray it on our food! It doesn’t break down and nearly impossible to wash away.

PFAS, or 'forever chemicals', are among the most widely used pesticide active substances in UK

27 known PFAS active ingredients are used in UK, 6 of which are highly hazardous

Antibiotics sprayed on crops.
PFAS approved for commerce.
Carcinogens kept on the market.

The EPA isn’t protecting the public. It’s protecting the industries driving both a public-health crisis and an insect apocalypse.

California is expanding its water supply by adding 2.9 billion gallons a year through eight major state-funded projects.

We're recycling more water, removing PFAS, upgrading wastewater systems and building new desalination for over one million Californians.

This is how we build drought resilience.

The rollback of rules on PFAS in drinking water is only one front in Trump's broader assault on environmental protection. It is part and parcel of Trump’s policy of Making America Poisoned Again, driven primarily by antipathy to regulations and the agencies that administer them.

Firefighting foam, one of the key sources of PFAS pollution in Lake Zug, was historically made with PFOS + PFOA. Both these varieties of PFAS are now internationally banned due to links to cancers, ulcerative colitis, liver, thyroid+ kidney disorders.
