A subclass of PFAS has been found near manufacturing plants and landfills, and in remote regions of the world
Toxic PFAS “forever chemicals” used in lithium ion batteries essential to the clean energy transition present a dangerous source of chemical pollution that new research finds threatens the environment and human health as the nascent industry scales up.
The multipronged, peer-reviewed study zeroed in on a little-researched and unregulated subclass of PFAS called bis-FASI that are used in lithium ion batteries.
Researchers found alarming levels of the chemicals in the environment near manufacturing plants, noted their presence in remote areas around the world, found they appear to be toxic to living organisms, and discovered that waste from batteries disposed of in landfills was a major pollution source.
While the most commonly used PFAS definitions globally include bis-FASI, one division of the EPA does not consider it to belong to the chemical class, so it was not included on a list of compounds to be monitored in US water.
Sounds like a regulatory gap that needs closing asap.
It was known before the eCar hype.
Let’s see what the globalist electric car clout say about this…
Yes I can’t wait to hear from this organised and malevolent group of people that definitely exists.
More reason to use those salt batteries
Because ICE car is environmental friendly right?
Right?
But yeah electric car is bad. I prefer electric bike.
The rubber from car and bike tires cause damage to the environment. You need to walk barefoot or you’re just lying to yourself.
Let’s just stop breathing because each exhale is more CO2 in the atmosphere! /s
I’d say that tons of different battery technologies are in the making or already in production, same for recycling methods. I’d also say that people like you probably don’t give a single fuck about the batteries in all their other devices. Cutting down the production by banning single use batteries , enforcing reuse and recycling and of course offer public transport as an alternative to EVs wherever it is possible are also pretty common demands among your big bad “globalist” crowd.
