Excellent! Primarily, the draft bill exempted polymeric PFAS, such as Teflon (PTFE) and other fluorinated polymers. These were some of the first PFAS identified as being ‘forever’ chemicals. US suppliers have already started moving away from producing many of the chemicals so let’s let industry develop alternatives as they anticipate restrictions in the future. The federal government needs to implement restrictions though so that non-US suppliers cannot continue their shipment of PFAS chemicals into the US.
Allowing Indiana manufacturers to define PFAS differently than the federal government may mean that products produced in Indiana could only be sold in this Indiana. I don’t think this is what most manufacturers are willing to have happen.
Agreed!
I guess the manufacturers’ lobby didn’t get the big check into the Republican coffers. Interesting…chemicals that might be banned in every other state of the union would be legal in Indiana, and would not even require a warning. Because citizen’s rights aren’t as important as big business interests. And we’ll wonder why Indiana would see an increase in health issues, and corresponding increase in health costs…
This bill was unconscionable from the start. Good riddance.
