“This week, EHN wrapped up the first part of an extensive investigation into PFAS in consumer products.

We published the first piece of our investigation – looking at PFAS in sportswear – in February 2022. Since then, we’ve seen growing interest in PFAS contamination in consumer products nationwide – from the individual to the national level.

We wanted to quantify this growing trend in news coverage – so we dove into our media analysis software and took a look at any and all news related to PFAS in consumer products – from makeup to clothing, food to water – over the last year. The results are telling."
