New Mexico is taking on forever chemicals. Sandia National Laboratories scientists Ryan Davis and Nathan Bays join Chris and Gabby this week to explain their breakthrough that dramatically speeds up PFAS testing, helping detect contaminated water faster and cheaper than ever before. It’s a step that could ultimately help the public and regulators better understand whether harmful chemicals are in water systems. Also in this episode, New Mexico Environment Department Secretary James Kenney breaks down new state rules requiring products containing PFAS to be labeled in stores. What does this mean for consumers & manufacturers? What kinds of consumer products still have PFAS?
