EXPERTS REVEAL THE DIRTY TRUTH * PEOPLE ARE EATING LAUNDRY PODS AGAIN AND LANDING IN THE HOSPITAL — HERE’S WHY YOU SHOULD NEVER New York City could soon ban Tide PODS and other laundry-detergent packs under the latest “green” push from lawmakers. The “Pods are Plastic Bill,” introduced by City Councilman James Gennaro last week, would make it illegal to sell any pods and laundry sheets if they’re made with polyvinyl alcohol. Fines for selling the pods would start at $400, double for a second violation and top off at $1,200 for flouting the rules more than twice, if the bill becomes law. The bill would also require education and outreach to businesses on the ban for the first year. The law wouldn’t take effect until Jan. 1, 2026, if passed. Polyvinyl alcohol, or PVA, is used as a film in pods that dissolves in water during a wash cycle. But scientists counter that it breaks down into tiny microplastic pieces that still pollute waterways and slip through filtration systems. About 19,000 tons of PVA are used each year in pods, with more than 8,000 tons being left untreated in US water, according to a 2021 study. The ban wouldn’t go into effect until 2026 if passed. Getty Images 31 What do you think? Post a comment. “The introduction of this bill is a clarion call to rally the scientific community to help out in this public policy question about what do we do about the fate of PVA’s,” Gennaro told Bloomberg. “I have a lot of concerns about what this does to aquatic ecosystems.” The Post has reached out to Gennaro for comment.
