That's the problem, the main people who do are the companies profiting. Something something conflict of interest

    The sources are more understood than the consequences.

    Consequences are well understood in that they are bad and have long term effects on your hormone regulation.

    One study showed teen girls in Copenhagen develop breasts a whole year earlier than during the 80s-90s, and it was directly shown to be the effect of PFAS in our consumer environment for lack of a better word.

    It was a big thing, EU made lots of regulations about it. I know in an adjacent country they banned use of thermal receipts (normal receipts you get in the store) and some other measures. Don't know what came of it long term but I stay very aware about what I touch in stores and stuff I buy.
