California governor under pressure over bill to ban cookware made with PFAS
Gavin Newsom, the California governor, is facing intense pressure from industry, and even some celebrity chefs, as he weighs whether or not to sign a bill that bans the sale of cookware made with Pfas or “forever chemicals”. … The industry pressure is part of a broader attack that aims to derail similar bans on Pfas in cookware in other states, public health advocates say. … [Clean Water Action Legislative Director Andria] Ventura noted the California water and sewer utility trade group endorses the ban because utilities are left with the cost of trying to remove PFAS pollution from drinking water.
