“Communities across the US may be polluted with toxic and persistent per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) from pesticides sprayed to control mosquitoes, new data suggest.
Separate testing by the advocacy group Public Employees for Environmental Responsibility (PEER) and the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection found PFAS in Anvil 10+10, a synthetic pyrethroid insecticide. Mosquito control programs in a number of states, including Massachusetts, spray this product from trucks and planes, PEER says.”
