[S]tate lawmakers have passed a bill to ban products made with PFAS, widely known as “forever chemicals”. The bill now heading to Governor Gavin Newsom’s desk. … ”We are now finding it just about everywhere,” says UCSD Public Health Professor Jose Suarez. “We’re finding it in water sources. We’re finding it in food chains and even in humans.” If Governor Newsom signs the bill, California would begin phasing out PFAS in consumer products. By 2028, food packaging and plastic foodware would be banned. By 2030, cookware with PFAS, like some nonstick pans, would also be off store shelves.
