13 Nov 2023 --- Food & Water Watch (FWW) has published a report demonstrating how lobbyists have hindered PFAS legislation over the past four years. The report titled “PFAS and the Chemistry of Concealment” recommends that the US government tackle PFAS contamination by adopting a broad definition, finalizing regulations and expanding them to the entire class of PFAS, banning the chemicals, funding their data and research and investing in public water systems. For decades, weak US regulations have allowed multi-billion dollar chemical corporations to conceal the dangers of the toxic compounds they have polluted the world with, asserts the non-profit organization FWW. This includes PFAS, termed “forever chemicals” since they do not readily break down in the environment.
