*[Enwl-eng] "Forever chemicals" linked to cancers are building up in our bodies

[ENWL]

                        These toxic chemicals are in nearly every product, 
contaminating us all.









                        Ninety-Nine Percent of Americans Are Contaminated 
With a "Forever Chemical" That Lives in Thousands of Consumer Products

                        You and I are probably already poisoned by 
PFAS-contaminated water, along with 99% of Americans — adults and kids 
alike — according to recently-emerging studies. PFAS are "forever chemicals" 
found in all sorts of products, from firefighting foam, to stain-resistant 
carpets and Gore-Tex jackets, to cosmetics, to non-stick pans and fast food 
wrappers. Research shows that exposure to even extremely low levels of PFAS 
can be linked to unnaturally high rates of cancer, autoimmune diseases, 
liver and kidney diseases, birth defects, and more.



                        These forever chemicals linger in the environment, 
never biodegrading, and eventually build up in animals' and humans' bodies. 
They lodge in both the water we drink and also in the animals that many 
people eat. According to new information from the U.S. Environmental 
Protection Agency (EPA), upwards of 100 million people in the U.S. — 
including children — are drinking contaminated water from approximately 
120,000 poisoned sites across the country. And so far, the government still 
has not set any maximum contaminant levels for PFAS chemicals, meaning 
corporations are currently free to keep flooding our products, waterways, 
and bodies with these poisons.



                        Fortunately, under the Biden-Harris administration, 
the EPA is finally starting to address the situation, but its 
research-and-review process could take years. We just don't have the luxury 
of waiting that long. That's why Congress must get involved as well. Let's 
thank the EPA for finally moving to restrict PFAS — and urge it to move 
faster. Sign the petition to demand that the EPA and Congress immediately 
regulate dangerous PFAS and undertake efforts to clean up our communities 
now, before more people are exposed to these toxic chemicals!




                 Thank you,

                        Miranda

                        P.S. Toxic PFAS "forever chemicals" are ubiquitous, 
showing up in virtually every product — meaning we just keep getting more 
and more exposed. Sign the petition to protect us all from PFAS!
