I will call my elected representatives to urge life-respecting regulation, and I'll continue to reduce my & family's exposure to these chemicals by being more careful about what I buy and use. We get takeaway a few times a year (the paper boxes might be coated in PFAS-based hydrophobic & oleophonic layer?), prepare and consume our food on ceramic/glass/metal, I bought a used sleeping bag from REI so as to decrease the demand for new DWR (this is out of concern for global health, not just mine), I haven't bought any water-repelling clothing in years and when next I do it'll be heavy oilcloth (perhaps I make it myself), but I still use condoms sometimes, and will be looking for healthier options that don't have these chemicals, or at least much less. I'm curious if the thinner ones have the highest concentration, to be a strong, flexible, effective container?
What else can we do?
