RMP monitoring revealed widespread PFAS in the Bay. These contaminants are toxic and don’t break down over time. Levels in Bay water may not pose risks to wildlife, but do suggest concern for people who eat fish from the Bay. The state of California has begun to restrict PFAS in products to reduce harmful exposures, including clothes and textiles, carpets and rugs, cosmetics, children’s products, paper-based food packaging, and firefighting foams.
