He will probably just forbid to test for PFAS, and then tell everybody that the measurements have gone to zero.

Someone might read that as a joke but that's what he literally did with drone strikes.
And COVID
A promise huh? Thats worth less than a shit filled diaper.
Absolutely disgusting that companies would rather not clean up PFAs which will otherwise give millions of Americans cancer and cost the country more money and cause human suffering and death, just so they can keep their corporate profit projections higher. The people who work at these companies are Americans and people they know and love will likely be affected. 3M is responsible for polluting a bunch of reservoirs and wells around MN and they've already been forced to treat several, but it's been a long drawn out process to get this far.
What he'll do is abolish the EPA and make testing the water a federal crime. No more tests saying it's polluted, basically just means it's clean!
The chemicals in your water are no longer chemicals, but value added seasoning!
Is it even possible to clean up pfas? Cos my understanding ia that we arw fucked and there is nothing we can do.
Is it even possible to clean up pfas?
My understanding, the answer is "yes" we can clean up PFAS, its just not easy/cheap. It requires pressures, temperatures, and chemicals not present in nature.
Right but thats like trying to clean glitter out of a carpet with tweezers.
Sure. Its getting rid of the glitter by burning the carpet and the glitter together. The glitter is gone now. Its worth it if the glitter is poison and would kill you if you didn't do this, but it does mean buying new carpet.
Yeah but the carpet is the size of the entire globe and we cant just go buy a new one of those
That's not the carpet we're talking about. These are small area rugs with hugely concentrated glitter (...PFAS from things like aircraft fire fighting foam that occur near airports and military airbases).
The PFAS from your Glide dental floss isn't even on the radar.
