A California lawmaker wants to ban the use of long-lasting chemical pesticides in the state within a decade. Assembly Bill 1603 would ban the use, sale and manufacture of PFAS pesticides in California beginning in 2035. More than 20 of the chemicals already banned in the European Union would be prohibited earlier, starting in 2030. The bill would also halt state approvals of PFAS pesticides and require public disclosure. … The group said PFAS in drinking water has drawn increased attention from regulators and lawmakers. Affected crops include almonds, pistachios, wine grapes and tomatoes.
