As lawmakers procrastinate on PFAS, mothers and newborns pay the price

PFAS chemicals, often referred to as "forever chemicals," continue to contaminate water supplies nationwide, yet lawmakers delay action on regulation and cleanup. This inaction puts mothers and newborns at serious health risks due to exposure during pregnancy, which can lead to developmental issues and other health problems. The lack of decisive action highlights a troubling disregard for public health, especially for vulnerable populations. This issue underscores the urgent need for legislative action to protect communities from these harmful substances.
