McDonald s recently announced it would be getting rid of toxic PFAS chemicals from its packaging by 2025, and environmental advocates and health experts are applauding the chain s decision.

The fluorinated chemicals have
come under increasing scrutiny for their impact on the environment and the body. Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances, or PFAS, are a family of about 5,000 man-made organic chemicals used in non-stick cookware, fabric stain-protective coatings, fast-food wrappers, microwave popcorn bags, personal care products and firefighting foams. ....
