    Is this article ai generated? It sucks. Are the toxic products all PFAS products? It sure insinuates as much, but doesn’t actually say that. There are lots and lots of “toxic” chemicals; there are over 10k PFAS compounds alone, and toxicity for those is being claimed at ppt levels, which is often lower than can be detected by test methods. Therefore, it’s no wonder they’ll take it slow, rather than eliminate large swaths of the economy without ready replacements.

    Terrible article.

    There are quite a few usages of PFAS type materials that are extremely important. That said, using that material for applications where it comes in contact with food is a terrible idea unless it’s completely isolated. Also the application should be such that the material is properly disposed.

    Oh great. The liberals have been active in the polls. No wonder the liberals of my country are salivating to join.

    “It’s not our fault, it’s the EU! Now let me rinse off my sadness in this money pool…!”

    FYI, republicans are “classical liberals”… which is liberal with less taxes and less accountability, but still liberals. Same with “social democrats”. Shills, the lot of them.
