Two U.S. Reps urge Pentagon to halt burning "forever chemicals" due to health and safety risks.

U.S. Reps. Mike Rulli and Chris Deluzio have written to Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin, urging the Pentagon to reconsider resuming the burning of PFAS chemicals, or "forever chemicals," at Heritage Thermal in East Liverpool. The lawmakers argue that incineration poses risks to public health and environmental safety, despite the DOD's claim of a cleaner process. They request the DOD to halt plans until safety can be proven, citing EPA concerns over uncertainties in the process.
