Governor Polis signs bill to phase out PFAS in more products.

Governor Polis signed Colorado senate bill 24-081 targeting the phase-out of "forever chemicals".

The law will phase out outdoor apparel, cleaning products, cookware, dental floss, menstruation products, ski wax, textile products and artificial turf with intentionally added PFAS.

PFAS are human-made chemicals that are used in products because of their oil- and water- repelling capabilities, heat resistance, and friction-reduction qualities. These harmful chemicals build up in the bodies of humans over time and are toxic at low concentrations, causing major health problems.
