A Local Law to amend the administrative code of the city of New York, in relation to voluntary PFAS screenings for firefighters

Perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances, or “PFAS,” are a group of chemicals commonly utilized in consumer products, that have been linked to increased risk of negative health outcomes. This bill would require the fire department and the department of health and mental hygiene to establish a program to provide voluntary PFAS screenings for firefighters, and report on the results of the program.
