Our Conservation Chair: "We have more to do to protect workers & the public from direct contact with #PFAS. Next, we need to address everyday products like clothing & furniture. We all deserve #ToxicFree homes & #CancerFree lives."

[Governor Maura Healey @MassGovernor]

Every day, firefighters put themselves in harm’s way to protect others. But the equipment they wear to save lives is putting their own in danger. That's not right.

Today, I signed a bill phasing out the use of toxic "forever" chemicals in firefighter gear.

EPA publicly trashed one of its researchers who found PFAS in pesticides, then put out its own study showing no PFAS in the products. New analysis finds around 40% of all EPA-approved active pesticide ingredients are PFAS, and the agency lied https://t.co/o92E1A69ri

[Clean Water MA @CleanH2OMA]

We really need HWM to release @repkatehogan 's and @JulianCyr 's PFAS bill so MA can do what every other New England state has already done: pass a bill to restrict toxic PFAS. @RonMariano @RepMichlewitz @seasusinc @MASSPIRG @THE_PFFM @MassSierraClub

The @PFASActionGroup of #NantucketMA has been on the front lines of #PFAS since 2020. Their recommendations following the new @EPA #DrinkingWater rule align with "An Act to protect Massachusetts public health from PFAS" by @RepKateHogan & @JulianCyr. Let's #ActOnPFAS now! #MAPoli

[Safer States @saferstates]

🚰 BREAKING: @EPA sets historic low drinking water standards for toxic #PFAS chemicals! #StatesInTheLead have long led the charge against PFAS and EPA's action marks a monumental step towards protecting communities nationwide. 👏

[Massachusetts Sierra Club @MassSierraClub]

The new @EPA #PFAS rule is stronger than the 11 existing state #DrinkingWater standards including #Massachusetts & adds two newer #ForeverChemicals (#PFBS & #GenX). We look forward to @MassDEP integrating this & expanding ours to further protect #PublicDrinkingWater. @MassEEA

EPA announced drinking water standards for 6 #PFAS chemicals. “This is a major step toward protecting the public from these toxic chemicals that have contaminated drinking water supplies across the country, putting millions of people’s health at risk.” https://t.co/Nukpzrjc5B

"The next time I hear the words "meets or exceeds state or federal drinking standards" those words will actually mean something." @edonovan01 from at today's @EPA announcement in North Carolina.

[NPCC @PFASCoalition]

Today, in a historic step to address these community concerns the EPA announced its first-ever nationwide enforceable drinking water standards for six per-and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS).https://t.co/nKLdRJurab

[Clean Water MA @CleanH2OMA]

Banning #PFAS in MA not only protects us - it protects the communities where these toxic chemicals are made, used, and disposed of. It's a health issue AND a justice issue. Thank you @JulianCyr and @repkatehogan for sponsoring a comprehensive ban on PFAS in MA. #mapoli

[PFAS Action Group @PFASactiongroup]
