Further, 37% of non-organic California-grown produce contained PFAS pesticide residues, according to a recent Environmental Working Group analysis of DPR residue data.Since California grows over half of the nation’s produce, these findings suggest that Californians and families across the United States are regularly exposed to PFAS pesticides in their food. These findings also raise serious concerns around environmental and health-related harms associated with such broad PFAS pesticide applications.AB 1603 (Schultz) will phase out PFAS pesticides and require transparency regarding their use while they are still allowed. EWG, Californians for Pesticide Reform, PAAN, and CEH are cosponsors.Deadline to sign on is Monday, April 6th.Thank you!----
