Toxic threats

Help us ban toxic PFAS

PFAS news conference
Leise Jones Photography | TPIN

Recent studies have found PFAS chemicals in 97% of Americans’ bloodstreams. These chemicals have the potential to damage our health and are linked to cancer, birth defects, liver disease, decreased immunity, hormone disruption and more. And they never go away.

PFAS have been dubbed “forever chemicals” because they don’t break down in our bodies or the environment, instead accumulating over time and posing an ever-increasing threat to our health.

We’re working hard to eliminate PFAS from consumer products, from earning corporate commitments to phase PFAS out of their products to helping pass state laws that ban or restrict PFAS to recently delivering 48,000 signatures calling on Columbia Sportswear to eliminate PFAS in its clothes.

Donate today to continue fueling our campaigns to stop the use of toxic PFAS.
