Description

A new bill aims to protect firefighters from cancer-causing chemicals. Assembly Bill 2408 would ban forever chemicals known as PFAS, which have been linked to an increased risk of cancer. The bill is meant to address the growing concern over the health and safety faced by firefighters. “All of these things that we still don’t know the true effects of, can affect us for the rest of our lives," said firefighter and paramedic, Timothy Ross.
