On June 25, Colorado is set to implement a new law banning the use of PFAS, commonly known as 'forever chemicals,' in everyday products. These toxic compounds, found in items such as dental floss, cookware, clothing, sunscreen, waterproof mascara, and lipstick, have been shown to seep through human skin and enter the bloodstream. The legislation, championed by @Cutter4Colorado, aims to reduce overall contamination in the state. This move follows a first-of-its-kind study revealing that PFAS can be absorbed through human skin, raising concerns about their presence in various consumer products.
