groups of chemical compounds used in everything from packaging, desire findings, foam that may poison the planets for generations to come. i'm to call fairly, thank you so much for your company. by the can you see is what old cars have to do with you production? here's a hands on the real media watch now on youtube. i want to lots of fast food packaging. an artificial heart valves having coming

by does especially those a coated with p. f. s. human made substances that on found in nature invented some 80 years ago. they have useful properties and then on fine level of i want to repellent. grease resistance well suited for using lubricants and highly state that this which is why industry is putting them into more and more products and not worrying because p. fos can make you sick. so you could okay, can have an impact on fertility on my firm quality and fetal development and what type they can lower immune response to vaccination. some have upsets, i'm a fast as carcinogenic and i'm sure this became a e u ames to run to key tubs. they use this put in an industry, a plane is p 5 set. indispensable limits are for that. can we can we want to do without him ability and or to production to put them to institution? do we want to do without 5 g technology and fuel cells? and best, so what do we do?

best buy intend to find out the p 1st stands, the pie and poly florio al kill substances covering over $10000.00 different chemicals in various phones, solid liquid, and gas full p fast, a synthetic organic compounds or hydrocarbons in which many o lifting hydrogen atoms are replaced by florine attends that makes these compounds extremely robust and durable, but at the same time, highly assistant. meaning that but you the impossible to break down as a result these forensic chemicals accumulate in soil. for example.

i have discovered that the ground here in restaurants, in southwest germany, where i live, as especially high p fast levels. we have, i'm sending us a p fast in an oak fields in all directions, but with a distinct plan. just before the harvest, i grow ecologist. mila need salsa and to colleague, systematically collect grading samples to test them for p. fast in the lab. i'm going on these. uh huh. if these are, it's all contaminated, what happens then? then both the farmer can't market them as food i've just to feed of us like games. when does the testing continues this meaning that the farmers animal products will then be examined just to ensure that consumers are protect it took of allies. yeah. people of how contaminated it writes in general, that they are relatively unproblematic and then the grains do absorb pizza all but

not nearly as much as with weed or solely beans for yeah, for the name, the few stack of the skin is piece that's becoming less of an issue, you know, it's a constant problem in this area in the game. it turns out that the square ok, but the search for contaminants continues on eric crisis home. he grows strawberries, cereals and asparagus, and he knows what p fast can do to crops. 2015 was a particularly bad. yeah. they had been gone live according to us. properties are right and ready to harvest. yeah, my son's, the checks were done just to be on the safe side. i think it's also because there's a lot of money at stake as far light. uh, but unfortunately we couldn't sell which anything on how to destroy the 3 hector as worth of a flock. boy, that was a tough flow house. 70 or 80000 euro is were gone, just like not thinking that you deal with that. i'm leaving it. we

live with p 1st. now can you foss? it's been some of the 2nd generation and father, i just, my father started farming here. my son was continuing those tradition. so we have to come to terms with the to the obviously even with inflation moving house. if eric rises a 140 hacked has a highly contaminated. so name will store breeze as they absorb a relatively large amount of p fast, which could mean the end of his foam. how do pace us enter the environment in the 1st place and what impact did they then have? i've come to this with public research university e t h in zurich, for offices profess a mountain shedding, has been studying these compounds 16 years and has long more and about the inflationary use of the fast. let's say some people, so people rolling around us, why? so i'm ready for one thing because they used a lot, especially in products that are open, meaning they can reach out to these products as well,

and then it is comp and flowing. bond is so hot to break, but people don't think great and the environment has been so once they've reached out here to stay and continue on woods by the wind and want to a me think lessons me because me for us to save us a child that deployed in a multitude of ways, for example, in firefighting sites, or in every day, objects like furniture, clothes and plastics. knowledge kinds of p fast known as fluoride polymers. i used to cause the surface of frying pans liquid or soap like p fast cold fluoride is to effect and make materials. oil and water repellant. and then there were flow renee to o. s. gases which serve as coolants and fridges and heat pumps. v dangerous pieces to feed each other for getting hotter with different kinds, but most of them are toxic to a certain degree. if you look. mm hm. the they damage the liver and kidneys. if

they can cause testicular cancer, if they disrupt to limit metabolism suppressed immune response and lead to the lowest pump accounts in man, i'm inside of i'm in. and then how can i find out what contains patients because of costs, as long as, as long as someone's is down and research is not in patents and industry documents, you won't find out there's no general registrations and calls listed kind of surprises. why know this? via the destination, because there is no central climax. let's keep the substances around the market tomorrow, and you factors might mix them into cosmetic creams or apply them to climbing rug safety lines. and that doesn't even have to be to cloud, pardon, investments don't need to go here to the recent studies show p, fostering practically every single lithium batteries, oil and gas plants and tanks, many kinds of paper, competing dental care products and cosmetics,

customer refrigerants and medical implants, to name just a few examples for it. so if i don't think it will get to grips with the appropriate name and then it looks like i missed the was the thing. that's why it's because they've sent me the symbol comes in. you can't get them back out of the environment. when do you mean it's like once you've pulled window, can you coffee, your own, get it out again with the except on a much larger scale. so it's impossible that is moving here and probably in a spiral down to to control is a full circle. mm hm. so ones, facile ways patients. yes. i think that's the reality info alias for this patient. the read don't see a show where it's being detected. the blue tops by contamination is suspect to me, not to and from what it the math is fall from comprehensive and with shocking results on a line in germany and has 1500 hot spots. many a chemical plant,

so apples and in the case of my home region in south west, in germany, in fields around a 1000 tech has a from 90 at a highly contaminated why, how did this become a problem region? the missionary reinhardt is a geologist who's an expert at cleaning up p. fast hotspot. is com, dots or via it happened because so called soil conditioners were applied to the fields all for the boot. and holes could blast away contain the cups sludge, a few in particular from nominated paper products all still pop you and those p d. i'm the seems to dish bit, see all the popular eggs people use do to improve the soil and instead ended up contaminating a stuff that's in the face. it for one veneer, it's a patchwork of fields contaminated to varying degrees. timing is any possible to

a limited extent. wells were closed due to high ph pass levels, cleanup operations of read. this was once a contaminated field test on how it was all done gospel and clean. one guy, nice and hot 9 might not know. they dug down roughly one meter utah. this material was then placed under a building must be under a 4 slab i seals or the i so that know run off rainwater can see through this material stuff as a kind you guys like spotlight uses my territory. she still haven't gotten the was assigned to rain. well, she's the fast out of the soil and into the ground water. this also supplies local wells, but also keeps on flowing. taking the p f. s. with that these us of i saw plus more than he has the to the water. you can see here is ultimately open ground water. yeah. because there's no gravel. so what that one does cool and this one and then passes from over there where the basement is. the person back into the gravel aqua

for am, flows on his ground water. he so it's cool because i'll fight the method i think is that what does that main floor is the properties and feels safe then? yeah, the boss are still in between this water is taken to irrigate crops, then obviously that'll be a problem. so you can see these on such of a tradition that's done. i'm to blame is the swimming is permitted to? yeah, the most, it contains be faster, but is regularly monitor 2 kinds of p facet detected most frequently in water. here he fell out or pass 0 to knowing as each a remnant from the production of no mistake coatings and p false or path flow row. obtain so front costs it to used in firefighting site. despite those being pretty much band for years they've built topping ground for to as a law. jerry is. and it's via this ground floor to the p fast, keep polluting eric rises from every year. he uses millions of leeches of water to irrigate his crops, but the water from the wells on his farm is so contaminated that tea 1st has to

purify it in the silos using activated comp and sites like fruit speed. when probably to is the most of the salt, it's clean then size or to silos. this after the 1st time and cleans up. but some time after we've put in a new carbon filter site, we take the water samples. you want me to hold and control and you can see that that's clean on. so he's on points. so when the carpet is saturated, the p funds break through 20, then we realize it's not working anymore. and so the so that's why the 2nd silo is there to catch it in the system, but i think it's the emergency side of it so nothing bucks can happen. and it's kind of specing on the, the, they change the currently we change when silo per year in 2000. let's call it so something like this cost more cons basis of $7.00 or $8000.00 euros. seems that was no one i know. so i guess have you ever considered switching? jumps out he has some trouble is who to define like this. the reason why it's like

having a house with a dead body in the center and i would love to buy it when i was a live agent. kimberly got kept dismissed. i'm finally cover me. so the situation is a precarious one. yeah, p fast continue to find the way into the environment. why the consequences, a well known and european union also retrieve half reacted by issuing regulations and prohibiting certain types of pieces in 2006, they banned peoples in 2008 restrictions on the food stamps in 2020 a band on p fella. and limits on 20 thoughts of p fast and drinking water. in 2022, a band on personal ro heck, same cell phone, you can see it. and in 2023, a strict to drinking to directive people. sometimes people can't just do what they want their own rules on the use of p. c. they sufficient all. do you items not escape will buy it as

a global convention. the currently includes 3 kinds of the past sort of band worldwide, about, but that's the tip of the iceberg because ice dock, if you want to add payment, has to have a product. you can do that for me or sticking with us to this and we, we need to get away from the floor, a chemical music team. and that's just part of a general reorientation and chemical policy. 242. we need, well, just an energy transition for the chemicals, transition to other under another way of looking at chemical products and thinking about what way using them form. and in walton miles, we need a serious re, single product and go and the e. u now requires old chemicals to be registered, which involves manufacturers submitting documentation about how safe a substance is. only those of very high concern a subject to authorize ation. although in the case of p fast but could soon change of the the you is considering a radical proposal,

the production marketing and use of o p fast be restricted to the chemical industry is up in homes because exceptions aside thousands of existing p fast could no longer be used in the you, the proposal is now being evaluated by scientific committees, which will deliver their opinions to the european commission. and if at all, unusual as the bond covering, not just individual substance states that the whole not for between mr. yeah. does this seems very on, usually a 1st, in fact, in many cases, dfcs not only mostly toxic, but that also it's streaming assistance, which means they can't get out of control. so we're also gonna pull it off. when these refunds, i concluded that due to this persistence problem and the gravity of the situation, it's appropriate to group oil p fast together. when does, that's an almost unprecedented step any you, one that the chemical industry believes is in fact, because not all p fast, all the same i knew i seemed to today,

shed in the netherlands is home to us. company come was dodges to european production site in operation for over 60 years. it makes flow ro pulling as a plastic like p f. s. the water and ground around the plant to highly contaminated to get to come was says the chemicals used in its production. us say that again, we'd like to, it's kind of stuck questions directory over that, but um says in writing and they said without fluoride upon him is semi conduct. his batteries and hydrogen technology made in your rep with no longer be competitive. and i saw the client and daughter last, we're investing 75000000 euros to reduce p fast emissions by as a 99 percent, an over regulation of fluoride polymers would endanger the industrial competitiveness of the e u. the

. so what do the communities affect to have to say the associate in dogtown whole assuming kimble was for polluting the environment sonya the young uh is a member of the co counsel. does she really think they'll be able to bring this chemical giants to? it's nice. all one is the game here in 90. 61, i think i'll that's the most important move from them for our city. you suit the company. why? we think they must have known that when they were here producing and that's i will claim that to be safe. will you have known that the chemicals who use a polluting have polluted in the, in those times, our area and our risk for the health for 5 or citizens due to high levels of peace

on the council, has already shots, drinking more to wells, and advises people not to eat purchase, grow near the lake or swim minutes or as it is, and it's now taking cameras to coast. uh is your goal also that this company is no longer located here? no, that's not our goal. um, because our goal is that the use of the chemicals, different chemicals to pay falls. this our goal is to restrict them and to get them a schedule rate of it. and if you say, well, just leave our region and a go to another country, they still have the use of these chemicals. it also takes a lot of courage to do then us. and why did you indian decide to do it anyway? i think it's also a statement that's a big companies don't. so whoever thing who will come out,

some tell will the court rules that come was, is liable for the p fast pollution? something i'll be finding out say can lose itself. was there any founded in 2015 as a spin off from the pumps? the us chemical giant is responsible for one of the worst cases of p fast contamination worldwide. the shocking story, which has been the subject of several films played out in the us state of west virginia. but i was present since the 1950s, the palm to be making its test on coaching in pocketbook using the p fast compound p. so the production waste contaminated the surrounding land and water capital on a neighboring farm. dined on the farm a himself contract to come along with the suspicious, the high number of the residents, the resulting legal battle with the palm twin term for almost 20 years. it was

revealed that the company had known about p f o is toxic effect since the 19 sixty's yet continued to discharge the waste into the environment. in the end, the content to pay around $700000000.00 in compensation to those effected this heart event. and that helps to thousands of people this month to, to, to this day, just like in the region i'm from was like, well i no longer live in the affected area. maybe i should also have my lunch and i'll get the test results back in a few days time. we evidently need to find a way of doing with out for chemicals. i want to meet people who have discovered alternatives, and i know just with the

fields that rough and piece us hotspots as a chemical and oil industry facilities here at the post of roof to them. i can see one reason why when extinguishing major blazes or in training exercises firefights has to fill a huge amounts of size. this foam used to contain large amounts of p fast resulting in the large scale contamination of entire areas. this fire academy firefight is really on how to extinguish flames with p fast free 5. i could pad. so is there instruct tack? no. i the deputy chief of a factory fiber gauge. he used to work a lot with phone that contains p fast because of our goal today he trains colleagues to put out big blazes using a new kind of simon to tom. what makes it different now? yeah, yeah, i'm here. so i'm with, i'm like the old people on space

a 3 m c plus i think this phone does not create an obvious film of water between the burning material and the phone. here, it's the layer of film itself that is active. otherwise this, you can see this time is stable, it doesn't fully ponce that phase. we can reach to them all. and all that is exactly what did it still covering the combustible material and prevent it from about breathing and possibly re ignited in the fall. so dump the be upset, so this time can simply be disposed of normally this is the someone is on the phone with p f. s. people. so i think i found most, i'm that needs to be incinerated as hazardous waste. and so i can just release it into the environments. yes, that's what happened for decades on a large scale and with domestic consequences. now it's possible to find even large files using p fast, free fun. still, it'll be a huge task to train or firefighters how to use it, and upgrade to thousands of facilities. small sit in 1st,

we have to find out how to extinguish fires and storing this pre phone. and then what adjustments need to be made the equipment and how do we need to clean the vehicles in tanks to ensure that the p fos, from the old tom is really gone and isn't now in the newsome mission open line. so i'm going to be other than other people that right away, middle suffolk, there's no, it was a long process i'll consume with no firms to ask about that. and then we had to learn how and develop our own system of the the think. now we know it's a major project for every vehicle in the fire extinguishing system itself requires a huge amount of time and money on and they tend to lose right among the 1st product. so a manufacturer has tried to replace piece hospice outdoor gas featuring move to repellant materials. how successful was a visit found a in southern gemini? the company was a pioneer in making p fast free sportswear with other funds following since the

funds had of development. bettina hold gives me a tour of the account. this is water repellant. i did. you know they always p, fast free. now i them. yeah, yes, yeah. okay. it shows the production of new fabrics is a bit more involved. lots of to generations of developments and lots of trial and error then now just as move to resistant and durable as tech styles coated with pay fast. yeah, the, the amount of water coming out of the shower is equivalent to heavy rain full. but at least a nice and dry p, fast free out to wet works and is now widely available. so i'm like a vehicle. it was a long journey. just the we had to convince the chemical industry to do something. and was we have to convince our supply chain to switch to p, faucet free alternative items,

which meant changing entire production processes. let's put test it, lucas, that i've been with us. i have been split since i got that. then there were very few pretty fast free alternatives on the market. much the chemical industry simply didn't offer them because the demand wasn't there. and then we've done. yeah. then come to some point green piece launch, detox paid with a big focus on p 1st. and the outdoor, and foursquare industry was publicly taken to task comp and then things really picked up speed i, there was pressure to change. and so the chemical industry got moving to and instead of one alternative, suddenly you have many to try out to do more than it was for being consistent. i'm guessing there was a tricky is clearly the industry needs and also time to come up with alternatives. but who is the lease that's industry? exactly. the major manufacturer has a based in the us, but produce all life, including in europe,

3 um known fritz that he serves and face masks is a major producer. yes, 3 and plans to quit manufacturing p fast. by the end of 2025. why? the 3 i will pay more than $10000000000.00 to settle lawsuit surrounding for ever chemicals and drinking water. they use multinational 3 m says it's reached a tentative 10 to the world wide 3 m is facing hundreds of low suits. related to p cost pollution. in 2023 alone. it's settled in array of claims in the us by agreeing to pay of a $10000000000.00 in american history. next, i head off to the 3 m subsidy. read dining and located in gained off various largest chemicals. the pounds which 3 m plans to close, soon lies on the river. it's this region has been battling p fast pollution for years deficient contaminated and drinking water has to be filled since i'm not

allowed on the high security factory grounds. so they'll be no interview with dine in. it makes flu road. pelham is used to cope components and chemical plants. and in the production of mike quick chips. the man i'm meeting, he is a chemical pox for my direct to now spokesman for a low be great backing this location and but he might let me on to the grounds either. instead, he takes me to a meeting room with an aerial photo of the chemical plant on so we're right up there in the, in that white building does. uh huh. where exactly of the piece that's produced, the yeah, the device indemnity. so much i don't have the operations here on the edge of the factory premises in this under seated. 0 of the biggest production facility for federal polymers. the whole 40 percent of the amounts produce in all of europe comes from here, which is not just 3 items large. and so it's

a biggest plant of its kind in europe. and the most modern in the world goes down, is this thing with dance to unlock it of it. that's what he says. he says why it's closer as a problem, not just for workers here, but also for european industry. has you on this page industry? i think that's why it was so attached to this, paste these hang on, do some stones. i'm attached to this location with all my heart and soul. do nothing. because for the foreseeable future, a modern industrial society can't do without the for a polymers that are produced here. and it's not possible for technological reasons . tasteful location for cooling carbon in florida. and i found this strong as bon, known and chemistry next. and that's why they can't be replaced, can, does, he can, can use it as it stands. now, don, sir, now is it, but you also can't force other items to behave like flooring. and this would this be so it's a material properties stuff i can shift the home. yes. and i agree. gasoline

powered car as a key little of little polymers in a piece of property medicine and electric version. and we'll have to come to your house. i'm 15 minutes, so do we want to do without e mobility when the i want to do without chip reduction or 5 g technology lane, the all of you from the taking a look if it's a fuel cell is hydrogen electrolysis since they're all involved. floral polymer membranes, putting him on a nosy sauce, equals no energy transition and no future technologies for the cam. delta spokesman, this seems to be no doubts. his group even expects the market for us to grow and is now being for production to continue a gained of 15. that's been getting the industry being against radical restrictions isn't tool that surprising check. but business interests assigned to they have a point i travel to franklin to visit to small style top

cool to be on a switch. he's investigating new ways of making fuel cells today to fuel cells of all required pumps that contain p fast, like many of the hydrogen technologies. oh i, that's all that's about as far as the 16 strong team is he on assist, is trying to change that before the cfo needs along. that tells us how far they've come. this is how fuel cells walk the fuel cells transform chemical energy from se hydrogen into electric power without combustion. power used to propel trucks. for example, hydrogen protons passed through a membrane. only me able to positively charged particles. the electrons travel through an external circuit producing connect tricity as each cell generates just one volts that combined into stacks, open comprising hundreds of fuel cells. the house of every cell is its proton

exchange membrane, which has to be chemically stable, durable, an easy to make, which amounts of the fuel cell contain p size probably ends the membrane in the electrode is made of for flu, rosel sonic acid health, which belongs to the dfcs family for the 1st correct capital, so for the side or fluoride, so sonic acid has a high proton conductivity onto permeability, total factors. that's why the fossil does it popular option right now. as i'm, as it performs best under the requirements, it conducts protons and sufficiently stabilizing stuff. okay, that's what needs replacing things going on. right? there's a 5th to assess and does it work on us from it? we're here to a certain extent and give us a ma, we've already proven its performance and a full format sound which could then actually be built into the standard or i think about them. but the technology is in the market ready yet. it will be lock plus us . that's when do you expect to see because it was in the we're aiming to have

something market ready by the end of the year after next. and then of course, we still have to produce it at scale. how about different understood, but ours aren't the only components in the fuel cell stack that use p 57 of the manufacturers of the gas diffusion layers. i'm a sealants also need to follow suggest the additional money from the mattress. oh nothing. hm. the size, the pieces are a necessity and hydrogen technology right now. they're not going forward. invest the punishment going on as of right talk today. we still need peace as sawdust, so as not to nip the versioning hydrogen economy in the bond. fresh thinking about it's very important, these substances the band to ensure that over time green hydrogen technologies really are green and that everyone in the industry works together to develop these alternatives. so i don't know yet many in the industry are still ram and play fighting change continue to buy and compete. we

get some news from the verdict testing reached in the trial against cameras. the local authority one the judge ruled the cameras actually illegally and was responsible for the pollution. so the relevant communities have a right to compensation. while they continue to fight for p fast to be banned worldwide. to most responded that it is willing to discuss concrete mentions, but not to stop producing p, fuss together. but the thing we really dependents on p f. s 9, know me the film and these companies on that. and that they should be searching for alternatives in many areas, they've already started off with them having to find alternative trick is a great up search and innovation of newest icons even seen some of us

today, the biggest proportion of p fast going to air conditioners, cooling systems and heat pumps. in the form of flow, renee to, to ask guesses which he used is refrigerants. the more heat pumps will be needed as we transition to green, a sources of energy. here at the found whole for institution, fryeburg, lena snob, is conducting research into the heat pumps of tomorrow. instead of s, gas is they will operate using natural refrigerants, like propane, some manufacturers are already producing these propane heat pumps. a not too distant here. it's not just refrigerants are found in nature, so they're easily tolerated in utah. and that's an exciting aspect when it comes to looking for alternative damage. i'm just by no effect. i'm not, i don't know, even how well did they work. upon propane is a tried and true refrigerant is, and it works just as well as existing refrigerants. mm hm. and the last for the

higher temperatures involved in the renovation of older buildings, it's sometimes even better than the usual refrigerants. the engineer shows me the inner workings of a heat pump, a tangle of pipes and cables. so it seems well the small when you can see that the device like this is meant to heat an entire house. and where does the refrigerant flow here? this is the compressor, it's the component that pumps it around. if natural propane works just as well, and just being in use for decades, i wonder why did industries replace it with p fast gas in the 1st place. so pain is farmable. that's the big issue. and the slave, what it is, it is great. you wouldn't have a problem with having a propane heat pump ahead on. you said that i wouldn't have because i have

a feeling. so what the company's really put into which i want to measure is to see how much refrigerant you really need on the 9th of how much you can reduce the amount to also lower the safety risk besides physical science with heat pumps, then this is subject refrigerants, containing p fast can easily be replaced, but for as long as they can, industries will keep using f gases and other p fast chemicals. simply because that's so practical that that continued production means that the fast but also cheap accumulate in the grounds, in rain. and also, you know, abilities i have an appointment with the toxicologist from germany's environmental protection agency to see how contaminated my blood is. have you had your test results and is expected we could find for fluent aided chemicals in your blood. and sarah,

look and see of them for mm hm. the home we found a little more piscolla than before, which is vexing because the fella is a substance that already has an effect at low concentrations and concepts that soon dropped and your contamination is so high that we can loud with any certainty that it won't affect your health, we'll see some can bottom. that means what? so yeah, the fact that you're in relatively good company today, we haven't found a single person, children's teenagers or adults. i knew where the substances weren't present jesus to finish how not flies and couldn't. how did they get to my bulging mind cup and it comes to about how likely through food and drink. but if you got frequent conception of eggs, efficiency food or organ meats or that you know vine is and i haven't eaten meat for 30 years. oh isn't oh that's tough, it's of course that's good. but also disconcerting when i'm getting this thing. so is it oh, from contest obviously. yeah. yeah. this is the quote is everywhere in the environment

is a v t a is this, i didn't vouchers is busy. personally, i find it annoying that we spend so much time discussing whether to take counter measures against forever. chemicals getting most number guy from the site. so you're in favor of a band opposite absolutely. invite you to a data on the contamination of children and young people in germany and young people and adults throughout europe shows that our population is too highly contaminated for us to be able to safely rule out effects on danger, as to our health. and thank us, thank you. i'm, what can i do about nothing? ultimately, we need laws to prevent more contamination. and the use, the fast restriction proposal achieves that. industries have been fighting it for months. the main argument being that pieces are indispensable. the notion that many

was such is disagree with the escape securely. and they're also talking the individual products, the web piece, last of the very important which we call essential have to come on to additional hot phone. so i'll send a cube sort of test alone, for example, we have them full filter of polymers for dialysis machines, where it's vital does not, doesn't clump prostate talking about the flute, think i'm clean and that's and that's, and those applications web p fast are extremely effective and we'll continue to meet them, but lots of just a small fraction of the many, many uses at present when the limits in use to these. if you find a lot of occasions with launch the solve, the problem includes the arguments and now being assessed by the european chemicals agency who will prevail. that will ultimately be decided by the european commission . the governments of e u. member states and europe in parliament into a 3 years time. but we still have no um, so as to what can be done about the huge amounts of p,
