California AB1603 aims to reduce PFAS pesticide use and contamination in California produce, soil, air, and water.

California AB1603 addresses the use of perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in pesticides, aiming to reduce their presence in California-grown produce and the environment. The bill mandates the Department of Pesticide Regulation to list and report on pesticides containing PFAS ingredients, and to phase out their use. PFAS are highly toxic chemicals with widespread contamination, posing significant health risks including cancer and hormone disruption.
