The EPA is launching a new PFAS education initiative to support nearly 3,000 water systems dealing with contamination concerns. 💧⚠️

The program will provide technical assistance, training, and guidance to help systems prepare for upcoming federal PFAS standards—especially smaller and underserved communities that may lack the resources to respond on their own.

As PFAS regulations continue evolving, support for local water systems will play a major role in protecting public health.

PFAS contamination is reaching far beyond drinking water. 🌾

Across the U.S., farms are discovering that biosolids used as fertilizer may contain PFAS “forever chemicals,” impacting soil, water, crops, and livestock.

For decades, many farmers were encouraged to use these materials. Now, communities are demanding accountability and stronger protections.

PFAS moves through entire food systems—not just water supplies. 💧

The federal government is investing $144 million to study how microplastics affect the human body. 🧪

This level of funding reflects growing concern about how widespread exposure has become—and how much is still unknown.

Microplastics and PFAS share a similar reality: they are already in our environment, and research is still catching up to understand the full impact.

PFAS can show up in more places than you think—especially in everyday routines.

In this video, .md highlights a few common sources of exposure, from nonstick cookware to grease-resistant food packaging and even dental floss.

Small swaps can make a difference when it comes to reducing long-term exposure.

Awareness is the first step—start noticing where PFAS may be present in your environment. 🔎⚠️

Microplastics are officially on the radar. 🔎💧

The EPA and HHS announced that microplastics will be added as a priority contaminant group in drinking water, a major step toward understanding exposure.

This means:
✅ More research
✅ More monitoring
✅ A path toward future regulation

But we are still early. Microplastics, PFAS, and other contaminants are already present in water systems across the country.

Progress matters, and so does urgency.

🍽️ Microplastics are making their way into our food—and most people do not even realize it.

From packaging to preparation, tiny plastic particles can end up in what we eat and drink. Everyday habits can make a difference.

Here are a few ways to cut back:

✔️ Skip plastic containers for hot food and drinks

✔️ Choose whole foods over heavily processed items

✔️ Avoid heating food in plastic

✔️ Use glass, ceramic, or stainless steel

✔️ Be mindful of packaging—less plastic is better

This is not just about plastic. It is about what ends up in your body.

At Pursue PFAS Free, our mission stays the same: understand your exposure, make informed choices, and push for safer systems.

📣 A step forward for Spokane communities! 💧

City and county leaders have announced a plan to provide clean drinking water to residents impacted by PFAS contamination near the airport. After years of concern and community pressure, this marks meaningful progress.

But it also highlights a larger reality: PFAS contamination does not resolve quickly, and long-term protection depends on continued action and accountability.

PFAS exposure can start earlier than you think—especially for kids. 👶💧

In this video, a WA Department of Health educator explains how everyday items like carpets, nonstick cookware, waterproof products, and even children’s items can contain PFAS. Young children are often more vulnerable due to their size and daily habits.

🔑 One key takeaway: watch for labels like “stain-resistant” or “waterproof,” and look for trusted PFAS-free certifications when possible.

Awareness is one of the most powerful ways to reduce exposure. Take a minute to understand where PFAS shows up in your daily life.

💧 It’s Drinking Water Week. 🚰

A simple question to consider: do you know what’s in your water?

PFAS “forever chemicals” have been found in drinking water systems and private wells across the country. They are invisible, persistent, and build up over time.

Understanding your water matters.
✔️ Know your source
✔️ Check local testing results
✔️ Stay aware of contamination in your area

Clean water is not something to assume—it is something to protect.

That is what Pursue PFAS Free is all about: raising awareness, supporting communities, and pushing for safer water for everyone.

This Mother’s Day, what you give matters. 🌸

Many traditional gifts—from beauty products to home goods—can contain hidden chemicals like PFAS, synthetic fragrance, and plastics.

A growing shift toward non-toxic gifting is changing that. Thoughtful choices can support health, not add exposure. Consider:

🌱 Clean skincare and wellness products
🌱 Organic or natural fabrics
🌱 Sustainable home or kitchen goods
🌱 Low-waste, plastic-free gifts

A good gift shows appreciation. A better gift helps protect the people you care about.
