January '25 Trivia Answer

Answer D: All of the above. 

Here is the article from the Washington Post on this common PFAS source. 

Because the PFAS in the medication moves through people’s systems, our own waste adds the forever-chemical to the environment. As our Water Program Director Carly Griffith explained to a coworker recently: “This is a big reason why domestic wastewater, what we flush down the toilet, is a PFAS source too. When people say it’s everywhere, they mean it”

Finding alternatives for PFAS in products is an important way to turn off the tap on the toxic chemical. 

You can take action here to tell your legislators to protect the ban on PFAS that was passed last year.
