The FDA has announced the end of PFAS use in US food packaging, following concerns about the presence of 'forever chemicals' in water supplies. Tightening regulations and costly class-action suits are driving investments in treatment solutions for PFAS contamination, linked to serious health issues. Congress is urged to address this public health threat, with bipartisan efforts to eliminate PFAS from water and soil. Recent court decisions have vacated EPA orders related to PFAS manufacturing processes, signaling ongoing efforts to confront contamination from 'Forever Chemicals.'
