Last month, the EPA approved new pesticides containing PFAS, for use on a wide range of crops, including, but not limited to, romaine lettuce, broccoli, potatoes, corn, soybeans, and wheat.

PFAS are a class of about 16,000 compounds most frequently used to make water-, stain- and grease-resistant products. They have been linked to cancer, birth defects, decreased immunity, high cholesterol, kidney disease, and a range of other serious health problems.

According to the Center for Biological Diversity, under the Trump administration, the pesticide office is controlled by two former lobbyists for the American Chemistry Council, Nancy Beck and Lynn Dekleva, and one former lobbyist for the pro-pesticide American Soybean Association, Kyle Kunkler.
