Oh great. And in a decade they will tell us that the company that made it already knew for 3 decades how horrible it was.

The EU started to heavily regulate some PFAS in 2010, others following on the heels. The regulations include a heavy focus on handling and waste management in order to minimize the potential of exposure and contamination. The plan to get rid of PFAS entirely has been around ever since. So yeah, they've known it's horrible.

I don't have the full article, do they mention Bayer? TΓ©flon does its own fair share of damages

This is not about Teflon which you're right is one of the 10000 other forever chemicals. The specific case mentions TFA coming from pesticides. Largest Agrochemistry producer is Bayer.
