EU Planning to Ban Use of Toxic Chemicals in Consumer Products

The EU is a complete and total shithole, for sure.

However, on many different issues, they are not as extreme as the US.

They will poison you, but if you complain about it long enough, they will say “you right, you right, we should cut this back a bit.”

The European Commission intends to propose a ban on the use of PFAS, or “forever chemicals”, in consumer products, with exemptions for essential industrial uses, the EU’s environment chief told Reuters.

PFAS, or Perfluoroalkyl and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances, do not break down in the environment, raising concerns about the consequences of them building up in ecosystems, drinking water and the human body.

They are used in thousands of items, from cosmetics and non-stick pans to aircraft and wind turbines, due to their resistance to extreme temperatures and corrosion.

“What we know we are looking for is a ban in consumer products,” EU Environment Commissioner Jessika Roswall told Reuters in an interview.

“This is something that is important for us human beings, of course, but also for the environment, but I think also for the industry so they know how they can phase out PFAS.”

…

Research linking PFAS exposure to health issues – including liver damage, lower birth weights and testicular cancer – is raising litigation risks for companies, Jefferies analysts said in a note this month.

Companies in Europe could face a “wave” of litigation over pollution or downplaying its environmental and health harms, said Hélène Duguy, a lawyer at environmental law firm ClientEarth.

No one in America will explain why these companies are allowed to just totally pollute the entire environment. These poisons actually go onto the property of other people, meaning you are violating the “non-aggression principle” that the supporters of mega-corporations always talk about.

In America, if anyone talks about this issue of poisoning everyone, the media and government will totally reroute the conversation into goofy hoaxes about global warming. That is the only form of “environmentalism” left in the US – the word is now synonymous with “global warming hoaxery.”

Total sham and it’s embarrassing that Americans are stupid enough to go along with it.
