Toxic 'Forever Chemicals' Found in US Food Pesticides.

New testing has found that some of the most widely used food pesticides in the US are contaminated with "potentially dangerous" levels of toxic PFAS "forever chemicals". The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has previously been silent on PFAS in food pesticides, even as it found the chemicals in non-food crop products. The potential for millions of acres of contaminated food cropland demands swifter and stronger regulatory action, the paper's authors say. The groups have submitted the test results to the EPA and the California Department of Pesticide Regulation, asking them to remove these products from use until contamination can be addressed.
