That's good for PFAS poisoning though, since bloodletting reduced PFAS levels in your blood. So if you are worried about PFAS poisoning: go to your local bloodbank, and start donating!

You also shouldn't forget that EU also exports a lot of its plastic waste to countries like Indonesia where there are little to no regulations

This is another reason why we need transparent global supply chains. The PFAS regulation in the EU or countries like Australia or Canada must be improved, but it's even better there than in many other areas and countries with often opaque laws and practically no opportunity for control.

I'm guessing the writer just saw the same Veritasium video we all did. These are the types of real issues that are suppressed in the name of profit.

The International Criminal Court should be busy issuing arrest warrants at this point. Everyone responsible should lose everything and go to prison. Tough examples must be made at this point so this never happens again.
