PFAS are called "the worst pollution crisis of all time". The EU wants to severely restrict them. But the chemical industry is fighting the biggest fight it ever fought. We investigated with 50 journalists & looked at thousands of docs, filed almost 200 FOIA requests, talked to dozens of experts.
The Forever Pollution Project - Tracking PFAS across Europe
The Forever Pollution Project showed that nearly 23,000 sites all over Europe are contaminated by the “forever chemicals” PFAS.
