It's a rare case of the admin bucking big business -- and probably a win for the MAHA crowd -- as well as those concerned about environmental contamination

Regulating forever chemicals is difficult, explains @rachelfrazin.bsky.social, because it's not just one chemical, but a family of over 14,000. And because they are long-lasting, the pollution that goes unchecked today may impact humans for thousands of years. bigpicturescience.org/episodes/som...

"Forever chemicals" last for hundreds - even thousands - of years. They've been found all over the world, including in the bloodstream of nearly every living being. But how did our world become so contaminated with these synthetic compounds? bigpicturescience.org/episodes/som...
