Sweden is re-evaluating 38 PFAS pesticides over links to TFA

#TFA is a short-chain #PFAS contaminating water sources 🌊

Earlier this year, Denmark banned several pesticides tied to TFA. The UK has yet to take any action on #PFASpesticides 🌱

It requires California to track and publicly disclose where #PFASpesticides are being sprayed on crops.

About 2.5 million pounds of #PFAS pesticides are applied to California crops every year.

The #EPA approved six new pesticides of which 3 were #PFAS (a single-day record!) & another was #polyfluorinated. It also expanded agriculture use of the PFAS #bifenthrin
That's a total of 5 #PFASPesticides in under a year & a half. No more #ForeverChemicals

New research has found nearly 40% of fruit & veg grown in California are contaminated with #PFASpesticides 🍇

Fruit & veg available in the UK have also been found to be contaminated with #foreverchemicals from pesticides 🍓

Very timely call of MEPs to phase out #PFASpesticides. At the 11-12 March meeting of ScoPAFF, Member States will decide on the future of two substances (flufenacet, flutolanil). Both emit the very persistent and mobile #TFA to the environment.

The bill would ban the use, sale & manufacture of #PFAS #pesticides in California in 2035 🌱

Meanwhile, the UK government's recently published #PFASplan proposes no action on #PFASpesticides
