California lawmakers block chemical ban
California lawmakers rejected legislation that would have banned pesticides containing PFAS chemicals, known as “forever chemicals,” due to opposition from the state’s agriculture industry. The bill aimed to phase out these chemicals, which are harmful to humans, but agricultural groups argued the ban would hinder innovation and increase reliance on imported food. The legislation will be reconsidered in the next session, while regulators and environmental groups continue to debate the definition and health risks of PFAS.
