The Environmental Health News provides an overview of the recent study that found large numbers of untested hazardous PFAS in food packaging materials. ehn.org/food-packaging…
PFAS have been linked to a wide range of health concerns, including cancers, reproductive issues, and birth defects.

EDCs in plastics are linked to serious threats to our health. IPEN Science Advisor Sara Brosché explains that the Plastics Treaty should approach controls on classes of toxic chemicals including EDCs. via @Grist Joseph Winters 🔶 grist.org/science/plasti…

From Scientific America - A global study identified 61 PFAS chemicals in food packaging that are not authorized for use in such products. scientificamerican.com/article/61-une…
