notes<p>“PFAs are a group of entirely human-made chemicals that didn’t exist on the planet a century ago and have now contaminated every single corner. No-one gave their consent to be exposed to these harmful chemicals, we haven’t had the choice to opt out, and now we have to live with this toxic legacy for decades to come.
