A recent study highlights alarming levels of PFAS, or 'forever chemicals,' in fish from San Francisco Bay. This finding emerges amid regulatory delays by the EPA in addressing these toxins. PFAS, known for their environmental persistence, can impact health, particularly affecting communities dependent on fishing. LaDonna Williams from nonprofit All Positives Possible emphasizes the cultural significance of fishing for many locals, creating an urgency for awareness and regulatory action. The study's findings serve as a critical reminder of the need for environmental protections to safeguard public health and vulnerable populations.
Staying Climate Ready often means staying aware of the impact we make with our choices, especially regarding the consumption of fish containing forever chemicals.
The study confirmed roughly 20 different variations of PFAS in fish caught from San Francisco Bay, raising concerns for vulnerable communities relying on these fish.
