Analyses carried out by the Pesticide Action Network Europe (PAN Europe) in 10 EU countries show the widespread presence of high levels of trifluoroacetic acid, a member of the PFAS family.
This is not about Teflon which you’re right is one of the 10000 other forever chemicals. The specific case mentions TFA coming from pesticides. Largest Agrochemistry producer is Bayer.
The EU started to heavily regulate some PFAS in 2010, others following on the heels. The regulations include a heavy focus on handling and waste management in order to minimize the potential of exposure and contamination. The plan to get rid of PFAS entirely has been around ever since. So yeah, they’ve known it’s horrible.
Dutch tv had a whole documentary on how pfas contaminated soil is mixed with other soils and then dumped in artificial ponds or lakes we created winning sand.
Oh great. And in a decade they will tell us that the company that made it already knew for 3 decades how horrible it was.
The company is Bayer btw
The production of Zyklon B was not enough of a crime against humanity huh.
But the company will undoubtedly spin off another company and divest from the chemical in question.
Not that Bayer isn’t full of shit, but the company that inherited the producer of Zyklon B did not end up in Bayer
I don’t have the full article, do they mention Bayer? Téflon does its own fair share of damages

Ah I see thanks, I guess I need to learn more about pfas

People from a Teflon factory were protesting pfas ban in cookingware so you can add weak leadership on top of that
