On 15 June 2026 The Guardian reported: State laws banning PFAS in clothing and textiles have significantly reduced the amount of toxic 'forever chemicals' used in the products, which public health advocates say marks a major public health win and underscores the value in protective policy. Global Good News service views this news as a sign of rising positivity in the field of health, documenting the growth of life-supporting, evolutionary trends.

...About 80 percent of the approximately 115 products tested showed levels of PFAS that complied with state laws. ...

'It is really encouraging to see such a drastic change in such a short amount of time, and these brands all switched, and no one has had to shut down business because they moved away from PFAS,' Reade added.

PFAS are a class of at least 16,000 compounds most frequently used to make products water-, stain- and grease-resistant. They have been linked to cancer, birth defects, decreased immunity, high cholesterol, kidney disease, and a range of other serious health problems. They are dubbed 'forever chemicals' because they can persist for thousands of years in the environment, and are designed to be indestructible.
