hi- i'm currently preparing for an a-level speaking/oral exam which i decided to do on the recent pfas legislation and whether it's effective. i stumbled upon the existence of pfas from a french podcast then the topic became a never-ending rabbit hole. now it's less than a week to my exam and i still don't really have a clear answer- i mean, i know it's very ambitious and certainly a good thing, yet the lobbying and exclusion of kitchenware from the initial bill makes one doubt whether a blanket will ever be possible as based on the research (though admittedly perhaps not enough) even though industries claim some pfas are not carcinogenic/harmful and idk if economical interest from such a big industry makes the effort seem futile. a scientist from a documentary i watched said that banning pfas one by one (eg, pfoa) is like drying to empty the ocean with a teaspoon.
anyways accidentally stumbled upon this place and was wondering if there are some more knowledgable people who can provide some insights?
