The European Commission intends to propose a ban on the use of PFAS, a class of more than 4,700 molecules, in consumer products, with exemptions for essential industrial uses, but is facing pushback from industry groups.

We have also had an ongoing PFAS case against our government in Australia near where I live. They have poisoned one of our towns with it in the water there.
the best we can do in short term? only use cotton/wool bedding, stop using coffee makers with plastic innards, no plastic bottles (stop buying soda, power drinks, fruit juices). Only buy products in glass bottles. It's a start. Then find out what else to do.
My parents (and now others) have been fighting my home town because they have the forever chemicals in their water. The city never disclosed that information.
The City I recently moved is known for PFAS contaminated water. It's everywhere.
I´m quite scared about PFAS in the drinking water, and I never forget "Dark Water" but apparently the governments don´t pay too much attention! When I heard what Trump intends to do in Gaza I couldn´t believe it! It´s like a sci -fi movie! Nobody must use people like chess pieces.
Magyarországon ilyen gond nincs... Nálunkcsak férges az ivóvíz. Meg elfolyik a 30-40% a az összeomlás szélén álló csatornahálózat hibái miatt... No mol e q la. Csak kula...
Excellent because it contaminates the ground and the chemicals get into vegetables people grow in their backyard gardens. Thinking it’s healthy while being poisoned by toxic chemicals! It’s happening here in the US.
And in Belgium. 3M factory 20 min drive away with huge scandal of PFAS dumping. Politicians had effing signed a deal to bear the sanitation costs 🤦♀️ When that broke through in news, measurements were done, legal action taken against 3M and the “deal” and the tune altered.
