A bipartisan group of senators is looking to stop the government's purchase of products containing toxic"forever chemicals" that contaminate drinking water and are linked to a variety of illnesses.
“PFAS substances that are found in everyday items continue to threaten the health and safety of our communities,” Peters said in a press release. “This bill will set the federal government on a path to a PFAS-free future, and help protect the Michiganders and Americans who rely on federal facilities for critical services from unnecessary exposure to these toxic chemicals.”
PFAS have been linked to a wide variety of illnesses, including adverse effects on human growth, development, and reproduction, including birth defects and preeclampsia, as well as thyroid function, testicular cancer, liver damage, and the immune system.
