Great news! It's critical that we protect the first responders who protect us, and that means providing them with gear that isn't exposing them to toxic chemicals. #banPFAS
Legislation sponsored by Rep. June Speakman & Sen. Walter Felag to prohibit the manufacture, sale or distribution of any firefighting personal protective equipment containing intentionally added PFAS chemicals in RI has been signed into law.

3. La prohibición francesa de #PFAS es muy limitada: sólo afecta a cosméticos, calzado, textiles y la cera para esquís.
4. No protege a la población, expuesta por múltiples vías como el agua de grifo, los plaguicidas en los alimentos o el aire.
Necesitamos la restricción total de #PFAS o #BanPFAS!
