Pesticides and insecticides could be another vector for PFAS chemicals into the environment and water supplies, in addition to firefighting foam.<\/p>\n

A new study warns that many common insecticides used on foods contain potentially toxic and cancer causing per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), also known as \u201cforever chemicals\u201d, since they are known to build up in the environment and human body, posing a number of health risks,.<\/p>\n

Researchers working with the Center for Biological Diversity and Public Employees for Environmental Responsibility (PEER) published an\u00a0analytical report (PDF)<\/a>\u00a0this month, indicating that widely used insecticides, such as Intrepid 2F, contain high levels of PFAS chemicals.<\/p>\n

PFAS include over 9,000 man-made chemicals, which have been widely used in a number of products since the 1940\u2019s, due to the ability to resist grease, oil and water. However, exposure to the chemicals has been linked to an increased risk of a myriad of adverse health effects, including\u00a0liver damage, thyroid disease, decreased fertility, high cholesterol, obesity, hormone suppression, and cancer.<\/p>\n

Widespread\u00a0water contamination problems from PFAS chemicals<\/a>\u00a0have been identified in a number of communities nationwide, particularly around military bases, airports and firefighter training facilities, where large volumes of the chemicals have been dumped into the drinking water supply from aqueous film-forming foam (AFFF) used to fight petroleum fires.<\/p>\n

The findings of this new study suggest some popular insecticides and pesticides sprayed directly onto food crops could also be a vector for PFAS exposure. It is also likely runoff from fields sprayed with insecticides would carry PFAS into surface and groundwaters, affecting species and contaminating drinking water supplies.<\/p>\n
