Is this article ai generated? It sucks. Are the toxic products all PFAS products? It sure insinuates as much, but doesn't actually say that. There are lots and lots of "toxic" chemicals; there are over 10k PFAS compounds alone, and toxicity for those is being claimed at ppt levels, which is often lower than can be detected by test methods. Therefore, it's no wonder they'll take it slow, rather than eliminate large swaths of the economy without ready replacements.
Terrible article.
