“The EPA confirmed Thursday that it’s investigating new data showing a mosquito-killer made by Bayer CropScience LP had high concentrations of two well-known “forever chemicals” that have been linked to health problems.
The Public Employees for Environmental Responsibility (PEER) and the Maryland Pesticide Education Network notified the EPA on Wednesday that a sample of Permanone 30-30, a Bayer product used by many states for mosquito control, contained two per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances, or PFAS.”
