New PFAS Testing Law in Colorado Signed After Bigger Effort Fails

摘要

One of Colorado’s newest laws seeks to protect firefighters from exposure to PFAS, but the measure is farless sweeping than originally proposed.Gov. Jared Polis (D) signed the legislation (H.B. 1119) Monday as part of a five-bill package centered onprotecting and providing health benefits for first responders. While it includes more stringent testingguidelines for per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) its language reflects a failed effort to get morecomprehensive state regulation.
