Florida bans toxic PFAS chemicals in firehouses to protect firefighters
PFAS, known as "forever chemicals," are linked to cancer and commonly found in firefighting foam and gear. A new Florida law will ban PFAS in fire stations, aiming to safeguard firefighters like Eric Johnson, who battled cancer after a career on the front lines. The law phases in restrictions on PFAS use and mandates safer equipment for departments statewide.
