John,

An estimated 45 percent of drinking water in the U.S. is contaminated with PFAS!

These toxic chemicals can be found in everyday items, from food packaging to non-stick pans. It’s also in soils, in groundwater, in air emissions from PFAS-producing plants, and even in rainwater.

For decades, due to weak regulations, chemical corporations have concealed the dangers of PFAS, which are also known as “forever chemicals” because they do not readily break down in the environment.

Our newest report, PFAS and the Chemistry of Concealment reveals the widespread contamination of PFAS in our environment, and draws the connection between PFAS and food, water, and fracking. It also exposes the extent of industry lobbying to block regulation — and keep the corporations who made this mess from being held accountable.

You are already paying a high price for PFAS contamination, and that’s not OK. The PFAS industry must finally be held accountable, and reining them in means:

* Adopting an all-encompassing definition of PFAS.
* Finalizing regulations targeting PFAS as a class of chemicals.
* Banning non-essential uses of PFAS.
* Investing in research and monitoring of PFAS in the environment.
* Supporting the Water Affordability, Transparency, Equity and Reliability (WATER) Act as a pillar for funding water access for all.

Without regulations that fight these corporate polluters and hold them accountable, PFAS will continue to infiltrate our food, water, and, ultimately, our bodies. Check out our new report to learn more, and I hope you’ll continue to fight alongside us as we work to stop PFAS pollution.
