PFAS Alternatives Act aims to develop PFAS-free turnout gear for firefighters.
The PFAS Alternatives Act seeks to advance the development of next-generation turnout gear free from per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS). It authorizes grants to eligible entities for research, development, and testing of innovative, PFAS-free turnout gear. The bill also mandates training programs for firefighters on safe use, cleaning, and decontamination of turnout gear. The Secretary of Health and Human Services is required to submit a report to Congress within two years detailing progress in achieving these goals.
