A new study finds the presence of PFAS in pesticides used in pest control and flea treatments.
The EPA says it remains “committed to addressing the risks from PFAS from all sources, including pesticides,” an EPA spokesperson says.
The National Academies of Sciences , Engineering, and Medicine set “nanogram” levels of concern in 2022 .
Pesticides also contain inert ingredients, which do not kill pests but carry the active ingredient.
Inert ingredients do not have to be disclosed on the product’s label.
The analysis found eight EPA -approved inert ingredients were PFAS , including the nonstick chemical Teflon .
