President Biden: Ban PFAS!

Dangerous PFAS chemicals never break down or go away. These toxic “forever chemicals” leach into our food, water, ecosystems, and bodies, posing serious human health risks.

As PFAS contamination grows across the country, it's critical for the federal government to act to protect people's health.

Send a message urging President Biden to step in and fight back against corporate bullies and regulate PFAS chemicals!

Dear President Biden,

Message Body

Toxic chemicals called PFAS have contaminated the water supplies of communities nationwide.

Hundreds of everyday items, like fabrics, food packaging, cosmetics, and toiletries, may contain PFAS. Now PFAS chemicals have now been detected at dangerous levels in freshwater fish across the country.

PFAS chemicals don’t break down naturally taking thousands of years to degrade.  They leach into our food, water, ecosystems, and even our bodies causing numerous health issues. PFAS exposure has been linked to cancer, low birth weight, and other harmful illnesses.

The corporations that make PFAS knew about these dangers so they tried to hide the science about the risks to our health. They continue to spend billions of dollars lobbying against regulations. We can’t let this continue while PFAS slowly poisons the land, water, and us. The science is clear: we must eliminate all PFAS chemicals now!

Communities cannot wait any longer for federal legislators to create legislation that will stop the harm from PFAS.

I urge you to act now to ban the entire class of PFAS to stop their unnecessary production and use, and address the harm of these forever chemicals by setting strong enforcement standards to eliminate their release into our environment and remove them from our water.

Sincerely,

[First Name] [Last Name]
