They break down into #TFA - a #ForeverChemical that bioaccumulates in plants and is fast becoming a global threat to our soil and drinking water.

Feeding the nation shouldn't mean contaminating the planet for centuries.

Some top US lobbying firms are working both sides of the Pfas issue at the same time Some top US lobbying firms are simultaneously working both sides of the Pfas “forever chemicals” issue, raising serious conflict of interest questions and concerns that their activity is slowing states’ efforts to rein in the public health threat. The review of six states’ lobbying records conducted by the non-profit F-Minus found a range of scenarios in which firms lobbied both sides. Most common Pfas are linked to cancer. The lobbying firm Holland & Knight works for the American Chemistry Council, which represents the nation’s largest Pfas makers, and aggressively opposes most regulations. Simultaneously, Holland & Knight lobbies for the American Cancer Society. In a statement to the Guardian, Holland & Knight said they follow “rigorous ethics and conflict-review procedures in all of its legal and public policy work”. They claim: “the report’s conclusions are based on a flawed premise that assumes any client relationship means the firm is advocating on that client’s behalf on every policy issue. That is a mischaracterization of the nature of the firm’s work for its clients and mistakenly implies conflicts where none exist.” Lobbyist Rocky Dallum of the Tonkon Torp firm lobbied against a state bill in Oregon that would have banned Pfas in many...

A surprising percentage of produce from the nation’s largest supplier contains ‘forever’ pesticides | CNN Nearly 40% of California-grown nonorganic produce has residues from PFAS pesticides — potentially toxic “forever chemicals” that can remain in the body for years.

It’s not just one chemical.

Testing found that strawberries can be contaminated with up to 10 different #PFAS pesticides.

Scientists are sounding the alarm on "mixtures of chemicals" where the sum of these exposures is far more hazardous than any single chemical alone.
