What we are discussing is not an abstract issue, as this article outlines. These forever chemicals are adversely impacting real people right now, and they can be causing families to confront health issues like autoimmune disease, cancer, even children missing their set of adult teeth.

Mr. Speaker, I yield 3 minutes to the gentlewoman from Maine (Ms. Pingree).
