DENVER, Colo. (KKCO) - Lead, mercury, asbestos, and perfluroalkyl substances all have something in common now— being widely banned from use for wreaking havoc with the human body. Also known by their shorthand ‘PFAS,’ or colloquially as ‘forever chemicals,’ even tiny doses have been known to cause severe health issues like cancer, hormone disruption, organ damage, and reproductive health problems.
Sponsored by Rep. Lisa Cutter, D-Jefferson County, and Rep. Mary Bradfield, R-El Paso County, the bill will help reduce PFAS contamination in Colorado by barring the intentional sale or manufacture of PFAS in carpets, rugs, cookware, cosmetics, fabric treatments, food packaging, juvenile products, oil and gas products, textile furnishings, and upholstered furniture after January 1, 2024.
