House passes bill to phase out PFAS in more products

The bill is one step away from Governor's desk. It would reduce “forever chemicals” in products like cookware, dental floss, menstruation products and ski wax in Colorado

The House passed SB24-081 phasing out PFAS from some products passed and it is now headed back to the Senate for one more vote. 

This bill would 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.
