“Toxins leached from packaging into a pesticide commonly used on mosquitoes, the Environmental Protection Agency has found, but the risks to human health are unclear.
The EPA began testing the pesticide in response to findings from an advocacy group, Public Employees for Environmental Responsibility, that initially tested the pesticide and found elevated levels of PFAS. The organization estimates that some 30 states spray the pesticide in the air to reduce the mosquito population, the newspaper reported.”
