"Floor sealers and finishes – products that cure into a film once applied – often contain PFAS. During floor stripping and waxing, PFAS concentrations in dust and air particulate matter were one order of magnitude greater than typical residential indoor air and two orders of magnitude greater than outdoor air, according to a 2022 study."But now the cleaning products <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Industry" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#Industry</a> wants to keep consumers in the dark about the use of these chemicals in their brands. Earlier this month, a bill was introduced in Congress on behalf of leading household cleaning product makers that would deny Americans the right to know about <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ToxicChemicals" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#ToxicChemicals</a> in cleaning products. "The manufacturer <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Reckitt" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#Reckitt</a> applauded Rep. Larry Bucshon (R-Ind.) for introducing the bill, which would rob consumers of crucial information about the ingredients in their products. Reckitt makes popular household brands like <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Lysol" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#Lysol</a>, <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Woolite" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#Woolite</a>, <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/AirWick" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#AirWick</a>, <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Vanish" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#Vanish</a>, <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Calgon" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#Calgon</a>, among many others.And industry giant <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/SCJohnson" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#SCJohnson</a> called for a 'clear federal standard' on disclosing ingredients, knowing any such standard could take a decade or longer.
