Selon un rapport publié fin janvier, la facture des #PFAS pour l’#Europe pourrait atteindre entre 330 milliards et 1.700 milliards d’euros d’ici 2050, selon l’ampleur des mesures de dépollution des sols et des eaux, et du coût sanitaire pour les populations. Le second avis de l’#ECHA, consacré à l’#impact socio-économique des mesures anti-PFAS, est attendu d’ici la fin de l’année
Les «polluants éternels» (PFAS) vont-ils enfin être massivement encadrés en Europe ? Un avis scientifique rendu public jeudi par l’Agence européenne des produits chimiques préconise une «large restriction» de ces substances nocives, présentes dans d’innombrables produits du quotidien, sous réserve d’«exceptions ciblées» là où aucune alternative n’existe.

#Dupont Finally Held Accountable for #PFASPollution in Historic Settlement Valued Over $2B
August 4, 2025
Excerpt:
"NJ Sierra Club Chapter Director, Anjuli Ramos-Busot, issued the following statement:
" '#DuPont has been knowingly poisoning our lands and waters for decades. As an entity of chemical innovation, DuPont brought prosperity to New Jersey. But, like with all polluters with a ROI bottom line, the true impact brought to #NewJersey was hidden from us. However, now the contamination from DuPont is so obvious and widespread throughout the state that they can no longer hide. We are now at the point where we have entered the billion-dollar level to clean up #PFAS pollution, which goes to show the severity of contamination. DuPont has finally been held responsible for what they have done to New Jersey, to our public health, and to our environment.
" 'Can we call this justice? Not yet. DuPont has done this across the world and in many other parts of the country. Until all of those sites are cleaned up and PFAS is no longer in our environment or in our blood, then we can call it justice.
" 'Today’s settlement is an incredible and historical achievement for New Jersey. This is the state’s third PFAS settlement with corporate polluters to come in two years, which continues to reinforce that their negligence will no longer be tolerated.
" 'As we face the dismantling of the EPA , rollbacks in PFAS regulations, and the cutting of environmental protections at the federal level, we must step up in New Jersey to protect ourselves and ensure clean drinking water and air for all. We thank Attorney General Platkin and NJDEP Commissioner LaTourette for doing just that, for standing up to the multi-billion dollar chemical industry in an incredible legal fight with one of the titans of the industry, and we urge them to keep the momentum going.'

Companies Knew the Dangers of PFAS 'Forever Chemicals'—and Kept Them Secret
by Jeffrey Kluger
Jun 1, 2023 4:22 PM ET
"#C8 is today defined as two chemicals—#PFOA and #PFOS—that are part of a class of more than 12,000 substances known collectively as #PFAS, short for per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances. Also known as '#ForeverChemicals' because that’s pretty much how long they linger in the environment, PFAS are used in thousands of products from textiles to #nonstick pans to #cosmetics to FireFightingFoam to #FoodPackaging, and more. The chemicals have been linked to a host of physical ills, including decreased fertility, high blood pressure in pregnant people, increased risk of certain cancers, developmental delays and low birthweight in children, hormonal disruption, high cholesterol, and reduced effectiveness of the immune system."

@ObbieZ Ummmm... About that... PFAS and other #ForeverChemicals are everywhere, including in some organic food. Unfortunately...
"The highest-profile case involving contamination of an #OrganicFarm has been at #SongbirdFarm in #Maine, where the two owners, upon learning about the widespread contamination, voluntarily pulled their vegetable and grain products from retailers. It wasn’t just their soil and spinach that tested positive. Their water levels of #PFAS were 400 times higher than Maine’s state guideline.
"Not surprisingly, the entire farming community in Maine is on edge, as this was anything but an isolated case."
Better Living Through Chemistry (slogan)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"The phrase 'Better Living Through Chemistry' (BLTC) is a variant of a #DuPont advertising slogan, 'Better Things for Better Living...Through Chemistry'. DuPont adopted it in 1935 and it was their slogan until 1982 when the 'Through Chemistry' part was dropped. Since 1999, their slogan has been 'The miracles of science'.
The phrase 'Better Living Through Chemistry' was used on products that were not affiliated with DuPont to circumvent trademark infringement.[citation needed] This transmutation is now more commonly used than the original. This statement is used for commentary on several different topics, from the promotion of prescription or recreational drugs, to the praise of chemicals and #plastics, to the sarcastic criticism of the same."

So, the issue with the Deer Island facility is #PFAS. We need to be more careful about what we flush down the toilet, and also start using firefighting foams without #ForeverChemicals, @clew .
Our sewage often becomes fertilizer. Problem is, it's tainted with PFAS
