Massachusetts H4870 aims to protect public health by restricting PFAS in consumer products and firefighting foam.

Massachusetts H4870 seeks to safeguard public health by restricting the use of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in consumer products and firefighting foam. The bill mandates the Department of Environmental Protection to establish regulations phasing out PFAS in consumer products, including cookware, personal care products, and textiles. It prohibits the sale of firefighting foam containing PFAS for emergency responses. The Department of Public Health must develop a multilingual public awareness campaign on PFAS exposure risks.
