In this compelling episode, we continue our exploration of the impact of PFAS. Today we expose the urgent need for new legislation to safeguard our children from the dangerous effects of PFAS—per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances—commonly known as "forever chemicals." These manufactured chemicals, prevalent in countless consumer products, have been silently wreaking havoc on children's health for decades.

We review the findings of a research paper - Manufactured Chemiclas and Children’s Health: The Need for New Law. We’ll unravel the alarming rise in health issues linked to PFAS exposure, including developmental delays, immune system damage, and increased risk of chronic illnesses. We'll hear from medical experts, legal advocates, and affected families who are raising their voices against this hidden menace.

Our discussion will also highlight the gaps in current regulations and why existing laws are failing to protect our most vulnerable population. We'll delve into the legislative efforts underway to ban these toxic chemicals and hold corporations accountable for their widespread contamination.

Listeners will gain a deeper understanding of the PFAS crisis and the critical role that new laws can play in ensuring a safer, healthier future for our children. Join us in this vital conversation and discover how you can be part of the movement for change.
