Time’s up!
The Massachusetts Legislative session ended July 31, 2026. Despite strong support in both the House and the Senate, the PFAS and Toxic Free Kids bills were never brought for a vote.
We are very disappointed. Both of these bills were strong pieces of legislation with broad support from the public health, environmental, and medical communities. The new legislative session starts January 1, 2027, and we are planning next steps so that we get these important pieces of legislation over the finish line.
Per or Polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS)
First synthesized in the 1940’s, PFAS make products non-stick, stain-resistant, and water-proof. Unfortunately, as little as one drop of PFAS in an Olympic sized swimming pool can cause harmful health effects. And PFAS are everywhere, including in the blood of just about everybody who has been tested.
Let’s stop the toxic flow of PFAS into our communities and bodies.
Toxic Free Kids
Toxic chemicals don’t belong in things made for children! Require businesses to disclose toxic chemicals added to children’s products. Ban the most toxic chemicals from being used in children’s toys, clothing, furniture and more.
