Summary
The PFAS Free Military Purchasing Act (S. 1796) would prohibit the Department of Defense from purchasing or selling a wide range of products that contain perfluoroalkyl or polyfluoroalkyl substances, commonly known as PFAS or "forever chemicals." This ban would apply to items such as cleaning supplies, food packaging, furniture, and clothing sold at military commissaries, exchanges, and online shops. By removing these products from military supply chains and retail locations, the bill aims to reduce the exposure of service members and their families to chemicals linked to potential long-term health risks.
