The EPA has made the decision to label certain toxic industrial compounds found in everyday items like cookware and carpets as hazardous substances under the Superfund law. These chemicals, known as PFOA and PFOS, have gained notoriety for their persistence in the environment. Imagine these chemicals as intruders that sneak into our homes, refusing to leave even after we’ve cleaned up. The EPA’s classification is like putting a strong lock on our front door to keep these persistent intruders out. By designating them as hazardous substances, the EPA is taking an important step towards protecting public health from the harmful effects of these ‘forever chemicals.’ It’s a big win for consumers who may unknowingly come into contact with these compounds on a daily basis. If you want to learn more about the research behind this decision or how you can reduce your exposure to PFOA and PFOS, take a look at the underlying study!
