"PFAS Bans, Restrictions Go Into Effect in States in 2023"

"Laws and regulations restricting “forever chemicals” in more than a half dozen states are entering effect in 2023, including the start of a timeline for a first-in-the-nation ban on PFAS in all products in Maine.

The newly effective measures range from labeling requirements to bans of the substance in products including food packaging, firefighting foam, and personal care products.

Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are a class of chemicals that don’t naturally break down, and so they accumulate in water, soil, and in the human body. Studies have shown that high levels increase the risk of cancer and other adverse health effects."
