DuPont has poisoned the entire planet with PFAs.
The situation is dire, since plastics slowly break into smaller and smaller pieces that get everywhere, including our atmosphere. I recommend the book "A Poison Like No Other" by Matt Simon for details, but it's a very uncomfortable read.

3M is the inventor and supplier I thought. DuPont just bought it and sold it. And then covered it up for literal decades.
DuPont is the one that dumped mass quantities of it into our waterways.
