State bans on Pfas reduce 'forever chemicals' in clothing and textiles, US report finds
Reported byThe Guardian ↗·Sourced by Goodlede
About 80% of 115 products tested from major brands including Lululemon, Columbia, and Moab showed PFAS levels complying with state laws in New York and California, demonstrating that protective legislation has significantly reduced toxic forever chemicals in clothing within a short timeframe.
Compliance testing shows most brands have reduced PFAS, but some companies are still exceeding limits despite the bans.
