DoomsdaysCW<p>It's about f-ing time!!! WTF!</p><p>The <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/EPA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>EPA</span></a> is proposing that '<a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ForeverChemicals" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ForeverChemicals</span></a>' be considered <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/hazardous" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>hazardous</span></a> substances<br>by Ayana ArchieFeb, 02 2024 </p><p>"The Environmental Protection Agency is proposing that nine <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/PFAS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PFAS</span></a>, also known as "forever chemicals," be categorized as hazardous to human health.</p><p>"The EPA signed a proposal Wednesday that would deem the chemicals "hazardous constituents" under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act.</p><p>"For the agency to consider a substance a hazardous constituent, it has to be toxic or cause cancer, genetic mutation or the malformations of an embryo. The full list of the nine substances can be found here.</p><p>"The agency cited various studies in which forever chemicals were found to cause a litany of "t#oxic effects" in humans and <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/animals" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>animals</span></a>, including, but not limited to cancer, a decreased response to vaccinations, <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/HighCholesterol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>HighCholesterol</span></a>, decrease in <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/fertility" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>fertility</span></a> in women, <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/preeclampsia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>preeclampsia</span></a>, <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/thyroid" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>thyroid</span></a> disorders and <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/asthma" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>asthma</span></a>, the EPA said.</p><p>"Short for "per-and polyfluoroalkyl substances," PFAS cover thousands of man-made chemicals. PFAS are often used for manufacturing purposes, such as in <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/NonstickCookware" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>NonstickCookware</span></a>, <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/adhesives" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>adhesives</span></a>, <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/firefighting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>firefighting</span></a> foam, <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/turf" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>turf</span></a> and more [ex, <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/SkiWax" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SkiWax</span></a>].</p><p>"PFAS have been called "forever chemicals" because they break down very slowly and can accumulate in people, animals and the environment. Last summer, a study by the U.S. Geological Survey found that the man-made chemicals are present in nearly half the country's tap water supply.</p><p>"The survey tested for 32 types of PFAS, though there are more than 12,000, the USGS said, and they can pose a health threat even at very small amounts.</p><p>"In June, the chemical manufacturer 3M said it would pay about $10 billion in lawsuit settlements to help detoxify water supplies across the country, after plaintiffs claimed the company's firefighting foam and other products were responsible for contaminating <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/TapWater" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TapWater</span></a> with PFAS.</p><p>"The proposed rule will be open for <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/PublicComment" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PublicComment</span></a> once it is uploaded to the Federal
