Newsom Signs Bill to Identify and Track PFAS Pesticides
Original: Newsom Signs Bill to Identify, Track Use of PFAS Pesticides
California Governor Gavin Newsom has signed legislation requiring the identification and tracking of pesticides containing PFAS, the so-called forever chemicals. The bill is intended to give state regulators better data on where PFAS pesticides are used and in what quantities. Environmental and health advocates have pushed for tighter oversight of the substances, which are linked to lasting contamination of soil and water.
Why now: Growing concern over PFAS contamination and its links to health risks keeps the chemicals a focus of state and national environmental policy debate
