It’s that simple. #ToxicFreeFuture

Thanks to Commissioner Jessika Roswall for a good meeting and stressing that civil society and work of NGOs are essential. We in particular talked about #PFAs scandal and the urgent need for the EU to make Europe the first PFAS-free continent. We count on you to lead the way.

"As a result of 3M providing misleading information to customers, untold volumes of the foams may have been misused across the world, contaminating soils, water and people’s blood with PFAS." In The Guardian today we break down the toxic lies that left people exposed to PFAS.
