Texas sues DuPont, 3M over ‘forever chemicals’ in consumer products

PFAS, which stands for per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances, is the name of a family of chemicals that have been widely used in a range of consumer products including nonstick pans and waterproof clothing and cosmetics.

The substances have also been linked to a range of health issues including cancers, and issues with the thyroid, immune system and fertility.

They are sometimes called “forever chemicals” because they persist for a very long time in the environment instead of breaking down.

This sounds like something California would do. Is Texas becoming woke?

No, Texas is becoming broke. This is income to them.
