"Many PFAS-polluted sites urgently need to be cleaned up. But relying on clean-ups is like bailing out a sinking boat with a teacup while the crew is busy drilling new holes in the hull.
First, PFAS remediation technologies are limited in what they can do. They are mainly useful for lowering high concentrations of PFAS. Eliminating PFAS completely from an area is almost impossible.

There are many places where such methods obviously won’t work. For example, how would you remove PFAS from rain or the bloodstreams of wildlife and humans?"—Anne-Sofie Bäckar
