Every day, firefighters put themselves in harm’s way to protect others. But the equipment they wear to save lives is putting their own in danger. That's not right.
Today, I signed a bill phasing out the use of toxic "forever" chemicals in firefighter gear.

EPA publicly trashed one of its researchers who found PFAS in pesticides, then put out its own study showing no PFAS in the products. New analysis finds around 40% of all EPA-approved active pesticide ingredients are PFAS, and the agency lied theguardian.com/environment/…

We really need HWM to release @repkatehogan 's and @JulianCyr 's PFAS bill so MA can do what every other New England state has already done: pass a bill to restrict toxic PFAS. @RonMariano @RepMichlewitz @seasusinc @MASSPIRG @THE_PFFM @MassSierraClub

Banning #PFAS in MA not only protects us - it protects the communities where these toxic chemicals are made, used, and disposed of. It's a health issue AND a justice issue. Thank you @JulianCyr and @repkatehogan for sponsoring a comprehensive ban on PFAS in MA. #mapoli
