Firefighters participating in the program will have their blood tested for PFAS to determine whether, and to what extent, elevated PFAS levels have negative health implications.
House Bill 1341 would mandate all firefighting gear purchased in Indiana beginning July 1, 2024, include a permanently affixed label indicating whether it contains PFAS.
Congress directed the Federal Aviation Administration FAA to stop requiring PFAS in the foams used to fight certain fires at commercial airports, and to do so by Oct. 4, 2021.
