    The EU started to heavily regulate some PFAS in 2010, others following on the heels. The regulations include a heavy focus on handling and waste management in order to minimize the potential of exposure and contamination. The plan to get rid of PFAS entirely has been around ever since. So yeah, they’ve known it’s horrible.
