things the way they are mapped out, navigating a changing world. now on youtube, the want to lots of fast food packaging and artificial heart valves having come in

by does and 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 stable. heard this, which is why industry is putting them into more and more products and that's worrying because p fos can make you sick. so you can okay, can have an impact on fertility. i'm ice cream quality and fetal development. and what at night they can lower immune response to vaccination. some have upsets, i'm a fast as carcinogenic. and i'm sure this being the e. u ames to run to key cubs. they use the spin industry claims p fast that indispensable limits are for that. can we do we want to do without a mobility and auction of 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 in 10 to find out the p 1st stands, the pie and poly florio alcohol substance is covering over 10000 different chemicals in various phones, solid liquid and gas pool, 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 persistent. meaning that such the impossible to break down. as a result, these forensic chemicals accumulate in soil. for example,

i've discovered that the ground here in rushed out in south west germany where i live as especially high p fast levels. we have lots of p fast in, in of 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 a half. if these are it's all contaminated, what happens then? then both the farmer can't market them as food. i've just this feet of us like in doing that. so then the testing continues. this meaning that the farmers animal products will then be examined, just to assure where the consumers are, protect it, took of allies, now be below 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 the, for the name, the few seconds 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 long drive according to us. properties were right and ready to harvest. yeah, miles on the list of 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 i'd have to destroy the 3 hector as worth of a flock we thought was a tough flo, how is 70 or 80000 euros were gone just like not thinking there's anything you deal with that to really even get we live with p f. s no. can you false?

it's been the 2nd generation and father, i just my father started farming here. my son will continue the tradition. so we have to come to terms with the to the obviously even with inflation. move in house with eric rice is a 140 hacked has a highly contaminated so name will store breeze as they absorb a relatively large amount of p f. s which could mean the end of his foam. how do piece us enter the environment in the 1st place and what impact do 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 warned about the inflationary use of pass that piece on paper. so people have thrown 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 grade in the environment has been so once they've reached

out here to stay and continue on woods via the wind and water. a me think lessons me because the fastest of 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. college kinds of p fast known as fluoride polymers. i used to cut the surface of frying pens, liquid or soap like p fast cold fluoride is to effect and make materials, oil and water repellant. and then there were flo renee to o. s gases, which service coolants and fridges, and heat pumps. v dangerous pieces, diffusion, the elephant 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 disruptive liquid metabolism suppressed immune response and lead to the lowest bomb counts in man, i'm inside of i'm in and then how can i find out what contains bi weekly costs as long as, as long as someone's is down and research is that in patents and industry documents, you want to find out there's no general registry that's and calls, that's the kind give me that list of places. why know this via the destination, because there's no central requirements, just keep the substances around the market tomorrow. and you factor is mike mixed them into cosmetic creams or apply them to climbing rug safety lines. and that doesn't even have to be to cloud, pardon, investments. the whole thing, because the recent studies show p, fostering practically everything i see in batteries, oil and gas plants and tanks, many kinds of paper, competing dental care products and cosmetics, costs refrigerants and medical implants, to name just a few examples to it. so if i don't think it will get to grips with the appropriate

names and then it looks like i missed was the thing. that's why it is because they've sent me a remote symbol comes in. you can't get them back out of the environment. when do you mean it's like once you pull the window, can you all coffee, your own, get it out again, except on a much larger scale. so it's impossible. death is moving here and probably in a spiral down to, to control is supposed to come for that office. mm hm. so one's facile ways patients. yes. i think that's the reality for you to do it. and so it is for this patient that don't see a show where it's being detected. the blue tops by contamination is suspect. 2, coming up soon from what it the map is fall from comprehensive with shocking results on a line in germany and has 1500 hot spots, many a chemical plant. so apple and in the case of my home region in south west,

in germany, in fields around a 1000 tech task of from 90 at a highly contaminated why, how did this become a problem reach me shanghai reinhardt is a geologist who's an expert at cleaning up p, fast hotspots is comes out to via, it happened because so called soil conditioners were applied to the fields and also with the boot and holes capacity. it contained the pope sludge, a few in particular from laminated paper products all still pop you in to see the receipts to their spits, the popular, because people used to, to improve the social, and instead ended up contaminating it's stuff that's in the face of the full environment, it's a patchwork of fields contaminated to varying degrees. timing is any possible, so in limited extent, wells were closed due to high ph pass levels. cleanup operations of wrap. this was

once a contaminated field and how it was old gospel and clean. once kinase and hot 9 might not know, they dug down roughly one meter utah. this material was in place under a building must be under a 4 slab i sealed on to i. so that know run off rainwater can see through this material stuff as a kind. do you guys like spots like he's as much as you wish to him cutting the water? fine rain. well, she's the p. fuss 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 this of i saw last monday he has the to the water. you can see here is ultimately open ground water. yeah, because there's no gravel so it definitely does cool. and this water than passes from over there. so where the in basement is by some back into the gravel offer and flows on is ground water. you. so it's cool in such a vital method does it, is that what does that main floor? does the properties and feels safe then?

yeah, the storm, but the one this water is taken to irrigate crops, then obviously that will be a problem. so it continues on. so chopped a to this that's done, i'm pulled name is the swimming is permitted to the most. it contains p fast, but just regularly monitor it's 2 kinds of p facet detected most frequently in will to hear. the fellow will pass no row to knowing as each a remnant from the production of no mistake coatings and p false or path flow row obtained. so fun, i cast that houston firefighting site and despite those being pretty much bond for years, they've built up in ground floor 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 he 1st has to purify it in the silos using activated comp insights back. feel

free to steve. when to to, to is the water and the salt. it's clean. there's advisor to silos. this after the 1st time cleans up. hm. but some time after we've put in a new condom filter site, we take most your samples. you want me to hold and control and you can see that it's clean on, so it's on points. so when the carpet is such a rated the b 5 spring through 20, then we realize it's not working anymore. and so the at least and that's why the 2nd silo is there to katya, as i say. and that's this number. i think it's the emergency side of it. so nothing bunt can happen. and it's kind of specing on the of the they change the currently we change when siler per year, 2000 as that's call it. so something like this cost more current basis of $7.00 or $8000.00 euros seems i've talked with no one i know to. i guess i did you ever consider switching cops out he has some trouble is who to define like this? well, the reason that's like having a house with a dead body in the center in the middle to buy. it was

a lie. you can kindly got kept dismissed on finally cover me. so the situation is a precarious one. you have to pay fast, continue to find the way into the environment. why the consequences, a well known and european union also reduce half. we acted by issuing regulations and prohibiting 2nd types of p fast in 2006, they banned peoples in 2008 restrictions on the food stamps in 2020 a band on peace and limits on 20 thoughts of p. fos and drinking water in 2022, a band on customer ro heck saying so funny cas 8. and in 2023. a strict to drinking to directive people stuff and people come and just do what they want as their own rulings 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 people sort of banned worldwide

about, but that's the tip of the iceberg. because i stock if you want to add per month, has to have a product. you can do that, you want us to that's and we, we need to get away from base floor, a chemical music game. 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 for. and in walton miles, we need a serious re, single product and go and the the e. u now requires old chemicals to be registered, which involves manufacturer of submitting documentation about how safe a substance is. only those of very high concern a subject to authorization. although in the case of p fast that could soon change of the b u 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

the side thousands of existing p fast could no longer be used in the u. the proposal is now being evaluated by scientific committees, which will deliver their opinions to the european commission. and if it, how unusual is the bond covering, not just individual substances, but the whole not to forbid the rest of y'all does this seems very, i'm usually the 1st. in fact, in many cases, dfcs not only mostly toxic, but that also ec streaming assistance, which means they can't get out of control to also component. when decent funds, they concluded that due to this persistence problem and the gravity of the situation, it's appropriate to group o p fast together. when does that sound almost unprecedented step into you? and one that the chemical industry believes is in fast 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 largest european production site in operation for

over 60 years. it makes fluoride pulling as a plastic like p f. s. the water and ground around the plant to highly contaminated . yet to come was says the chemicals used in its production. us say that again, we'd like to expose the questions directory over that. the um says in writing and they said without fluoride upon them is semi conduct. his batteries and hydrogen technology made in europe would no longer be competitive. and i saw the fountain dogs, i swim investing 75000000 euros to reduce p fos 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 door trash to town whole assuming cameras for polluting the environment hi tanya, 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. vanessa came here in 90. 61. i think that's the most important move from them. for our city, you sued the company wide, leafing. they must have known it when they were here producing, and that's i will claim that to be safe. will you have known that the chemicals who use opera looting have polluted in the, in those times, our area and are, are risk for the health of our citizens? due to high levels of peace on the council has already shots drinking more to wells

and advisors. people not to eat, produce gro, near the lake, or swim minutes or isms, 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, the forever chemicals to pay falls. this our goal is to restrict them and to get them and get rid 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. 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 fee who will come out, some tell will the court rules that come was, is liable for the p fast pollution,

or something i'll be finding out say can lose itself. was there any found it 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 defunct, to be making its test on coaching in pocketbook using the p fast compound, p for the production waste contaminated the surrounding land and water capital on a neighboring farm. dined on the farm and himself contract to come along. with the suspicious, the high number of all the residents, the resulting legal bustle with the pump went home for almost 20 years. it was revealed that the company had known about p photo is toxic effect since the 19

sixty's yet continued to discharge the waste into the environment in the end, do contact to pay around $700000000.00 in compensation to those effected beside the van that the health of thousands of people is mona said to they stand just like in the region i'm from was like, well, i no longer live in the effect today or yeah, maybe i should also have my lunch questions like and i'll get the test results back in a few days time we evidently need to find a way of doing was out for us. i chemicals. i want to meet people who have discovered alternatives. and i know just with the field,

several fund 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 firefly 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. at this fire academy, firefight is really on how to extinguish flames with p fast free 5. i could pets. uh. is there instruct tank? 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 home today he trains colleagues to put out big blazes using a new kind of fireman to tom. perfect. what makes it different? right? yeah, yeah, i'm here. so i'm with, i'm like the old people on space a 3 m. c plus isaac. this phone does not create an obvious film of water between

the burning material and the phone. here, it's the layer of form itself that is active. otherwise this, you can see this time is stable, it doesn't fully ponce that phase. we can, this has them all and all that is exactly what it and it's still covering the combustible material and prevent it from about breathing and possibly re ignited enough for us to dump the be upset. so this time can simply be disposed of normally or the someone is on the phone with p fast people. so i think i felt 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. and what's not small since 1st we are just finding out how to extinguish fires and storing this free phone bundle,

then what adjustments need to be made the equipment what, how do we need to clean the vehicles in tanks to ensure that the p fos, from the old thom has really gone and isn't now in the new phone or missing off in 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 to develop our own system of the and 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 time 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 germany? the company was a pioneer in making p fast free sportswear with other firms following since the funds had of development, patina hold gives me

a tour. if the pounds this is water repellant. right? yeah. so you know, they always be fast free now. i them. yeah, yes, yeah. okay. it should. the production of new fabrics is a bit more involved. lots of to generations of developments under lots of trial and error then now just as most, who are resistant and durable as tech styles coated with p fast. the, the, the amount of water coming out of the shower is equivalent to heavy rain full. but at least a nice and drying p fast free out to wet works and is now widely available. from lack of it, it was a long journey. just the we had to convince the chemical industry to do something in which 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 just, it was

a has been split, says they 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 campaign was a big focus on p 1st and the outdoor and supports where 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 what to do within those 4 pm. and getting there was all tricky. the clearly the industry needs and also the time to come up with alternatives. but who is the lease? i think the street exactly. the major manufacturer has a based in the us that produce all life, including in europe, 3 m 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. the us multinational 3 m says it's reached a tentative 10 wells wide. 3 m is facing hundreds of low suits, related to p fast 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 re dining located in gained off for various largest chemical talk 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 and terminated 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 the chemical box for my direct to now spokesman for a low be great backing this location. and but he was letting me onto the grounds either. instead he takes me to a meeting room with an aerial photo of the chemical plant on the scene. so we're right up there in that white building, i assume doesn't. uh huh. where exactly of the piece that's produced. yeah, there, because i shouldn't even be so much right now because it's opperation. so you're on the edge of the factory premises in this unassisted 0 of the biggest production facility for federal polymers. the whole 40 percent of the amounts produce in all of us comes from here. it's not just 3 items large and simple. 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 is you on this page industry. the thing that's why i 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 . takes the location for the cooling carbon in florida. and i can find the strongest bond known in chemistry next, and that's why they can't be replaced will cont, decision to the us. it's now done for now is easy, but you also can't force other items to behave like florine. hi, nice what this be. so it's a material properties stuff i can shift to home. yes. and i agree, gasoline powered car as a kilo of liberal polymers, and a teaser group put another thing and electric version will have to come to your

house. i'm 15 kilo limits. what do we want to do without email ability? when the me wants to do without chip reduction or 5 g technology lanes? yeah, all of you from the taking a look if it's a fuel. so it's hydrogen electrolysis ox, if they're all involved. floral polymer membranes, putting him on no thesis equals no energy transition and no future technologies for the cam delta spokesman, this seems to be no doubt. his group even expects the market for us to grow and is now being from production to continue. it gained off 15. i think the industry being against radical restrictions isn't tool that surprising check. but business interests assigned to they have a point i travel to find blood to visit, to small style top cold deanus, which is investigating new ways of making fuel cells to date,

fuel cells have all required pumps that contain p fast, like many other hydrogen technologies. oh i, that's what that's about as far as the 16 strong team se on assist is trying to change that before the cfo. these atlanta tells us how far they've come. this is how fuel cells walk the fuel cells transform chemical energy from st hydrogen into electric power without combustion. power used to propel trucks. for example, hydrogen protons passed through a membrane only putting 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,

and easy to make. which amounts of the fuel cell contain p size credit in the membrane and the electrode is made of for flu, rosel sonic acid, which belongs to the dfcs family to the p 1st, correct for the phones are fluid also sonic acid has a high proton conductivity and permeability, toner, cartridge, that's why p 5. so there's a popular option right now, as i'm, as it performs best under the requirements it conducts protons formed and sufficiently stable. i stuff you guys, that's what needs replace it. right? because we have to assess and does, it will have some good. we're here to a certain extent and give it for ma. we've already proven its performance and a full format cell which could then actually be built into the standard of anger. both in the technology isn't market ready yet, additional it'll be lock plus us. that's when do you expect to see because it was in the as we're aiming to have something market ready by the end of the year after

next. 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 suggested that that is from the, from the naturalist. oh nothing. hm. the fact the pieces are in assess the t and hydrogen technology right now. they're not going forward. so this investment punishment gonna, as a right talk today, we still need pieces thought so as not to nip the burgeoning hydrogen economy in the bond flesh sticking all the way to it's very important, these substances the band to ensure that over time between 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 is still very mentally fighting change. continue to buy and compete. we get some news from door to the verdict is being reached in the trial against

cameras, the local authority, one the judge rules that can was 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, the 2 most responded that it is willing to discuss concrete mentions, but not to stop producing p fast to get them. but i think we really dependence 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 alternatives. trick is a great up search and innovation of newest icons even seen in some missing today. the biggest proportion of p fast go into air conditioners, cooling systems,

and to heat pumps in the form of flu. renee to the gases which he used is refrigerants, the more heat pumps will be needed is we transition to green, a sources of energy. here at the found whole for institution, 5 book lean or 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. i'm not doing this in 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 spending a spectra, i'm not, i don't know, even how well do they look upon propane is a tried and true refrigerant, and it works just as well as existing refrigerants. 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 consider 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 components that come sit 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. so that's the big issue, is honestly what it is it, and it's great. you wouldn't have a problem with having a propane heat pump at home, and they 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. and then how much you can reduce the amount to also lower the safety risk. besides physical science with heat pumps, then this is the subject refrigerants containing p fence 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 p fast, but also cheap accumulate in the ground in range. and also, you know, abilities i have an appointment with the toxicologist from germany's environmental protection agency to see how contaminated to my brother's shot. you'll get your test results and is expected. we could find fluent aided chemicals in your blood. and sarah, look and see him different. mm hm. the how them we found

a little more piece sola then p false, which is makes sense because the fella is a substance that already has an effect at low concentrations and concepts head 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 excuses to finish having enough buys and couldn't. how did they get to my boss in mind comes to of i should likely through food and drink. but if you got frequent conception of eggs, efficiency food, or organ meats or that you know, vine haven't eaten meat for 30 years. oh yeah. oh, that's tough. it's of course that's good. but also disconcerting about what i'm getting in testing. so is it oh, from context obviously. yeah, yeah, this is included, this is everywhere and the environment is a few to. yeah, it says i'm getting vouchers is busy. personally,

i find it annoying that we spend so much time discussing whether to take counter measures against forever, chemicals getting lost and i'm a guy from the side. 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 and the danger as to our health and thank a saying to you i, i'm, what can i do about it? nothing. ultimately, we need laws to prevent more contamination. on the use p fast restriction proposal achieves that. industries have been fighting it for months. the main argument being that p fast are indispensable. an ocean that many was such as disagree with the escape securely. i never also talked to the individual products the way i pay

for something very important, which we call essentially have to come on to additional hot phone. so if you haven't, i'll send a cube sort of tough loan for example, me have them full filter of polymers for dialysis machines, where it's vital does not, doesn't compost vein talking about the flu unclaimed. and that's, and that's of those applications where i p fast rec, stream, the effective and we'll continue to need them. but that's just a small fraction of the many, many uses at present when the limits in use to these of your final applications 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 in 2 a 3 years time. but we still have no um, so as to what can be done about the huge amounts of p, fos that are already in the environment. getting rid of them is like trying to
