This week, PFAS yet again made headlines as a huge investigation exposed the ongoing orchestrated lobbying and disinformation campaign by the chemical industry to fight a planned EU ban on “forever chemicals” and shifting the burden of environmental pollution onto society!

Only yesterday, a medieval-sounding headline emerged that residents of Jersey were recommended bloodletting to lower the level of PFAS in their blood after their drinking water was contaminated with firefighting foams.😱 The true cost of cleaning up PFAS contamination in Europe will amount to €2 trillion over 20 years or an annual bill of €100 billion.
