The Smart on Pesticides Coalition is working hard to eliminate the toxic 'forever chemical' PFAS from pesticides in Maryland.
Tens of millions of pounds of pesticides are applied annually in Maryland. This new discovery means untold numbers of pesticides may contain PFAS at extraordinarily high levels. PFAS in pesticides is taken up into food crops and ultimately our bodies!
There is strong evidence linking PFAS to kidney, testicular, prostate, and breast cancer, birth defects and developmental damage in infants, childhood obesity, thyroid disease, high cholesterol, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, and impaired immune function.
But we need your help to accomplish this work. Every dollar you contribute to this effort will be DOUBLED with a match from our funder!
Please make a contribution now. Thank you!
