Tell the RI General Assembly:
It’s time to ban PFAS!

I was excited to hear that Rhode Island joined the national trend of protecting residents from exposure to toxic PFAS last session with the passage of laws to remove PFAS from food packaging and set a maximum contaminant limit on PFAS in our waterways. But I am concerned that PFAS can still be found in many common household items like baby bibs, outdoor gear, and carpets. Plus, firefighting foam containing PFAS continues to be a threat to waterways and to firefighters! We need to reduce our exposure to PFAS in our homes and in our environment, with a focus on protecting young children.

I am urging you to support and pass a comprehensive ban on toxic PFAS in the 2023 session. We can’t begin to protect our waterways from these “forever chemicals” without first halting their production and consumption.
