"EU To Ban Use Of PFAS 'Forever Chemicals' In Firefighting Foam" [1]
"The European Commission on Friday announced restrictions on the use of so-called "forever chemicals" in firefighting foams.
Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances - known as PFAS -do not degrade in the natural environment and can be harmful to human health and the environment.
Firefighting foams have been one of the main sources of PFAS pollution in the European Union to date, according to the commission."
