It blew my mind when i learned we don’t require 100% capture of contamination from manufacturing. Granted i was a kid, but it seemed to me that cleaning up after yourself would just be the cost of doing business. How naive i was.

3M has fucked up the water in my area pretty bad for decades. I have to use Zero water filters for everything. Been thinking of installing a large under sink filter/reverse osmosis system.
