Kate Donovan & Dr. Charles Moon: The Dangerous Chemicals Lurking in Your Home
This week, we delve into the pervasive presence of PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances) in everyday household items, such as cosmetics, cookware, and dental floss, and the significant health risks they pose. Linked to cancer, hormone disruption, liver and thyroid issues, reproductive harm, and abnormal fetal development, PFAS exposure has become a growing public health concern. Advocates are urging the state legislature to act by passing four critical bills to protect consumers before the session ends in June 2025.
Joining the conversation are two leading experts in the fight against PFAS: Dr. Charles Moon, Pediatric Environmental Health Fellow at Mount Sinai School of Medicine, and Kate Donovan, Director of Northeast Environmental Health and Senior Attorney for the Natural Resources Defense Council. Together with Tee, they explore the history and health implications of PFAS, discuss current legislative efforts to reduce exposure, and share practical advice for minimizing PFAS in daily life. This insightful episode highlights the vital role of government action, public advocacy, and individual awareness in tackling this environmental and health challenge.
