But the reason you’re being downvoted, is that instead of commenting this, you made a comment that sounded like you were dismissing the dangers of PFAS, and dismissing it as the modern-day equivalent to lead, asbestos, and the like.
Which is what it is, and you clearly agree that it is.
But they’re not a problem everywhere, they’re a problem of containment at the manufacturer.
This is what sloppy statements like plastics and teflon are tantamount to the widespread lead and mercury poisoning.
That’s just not the case but acting like it is, is exactly how industry initiate regulatory capture.
I see it the same as the big tech giants pushing hard FOR regulation, because ultimately the rules, written with their impetus will become their motes and we will all pay for it.
Cool.

The difference with leaded gasoline and asbestos, is that everyone everywhere was being exposed to those.
And the current trajectory regarding PFAS is, a complete ban https://www.wcl.org.uk/transitioning-to-a-pfas-free-economy.asp
