Recommendation 29
29
Remediating PFAS contamination in the environment is expensive and technically complex.

Remediating PFAS contamination in the environment is expensive and technically complex. The current regulatory approach that permits continued use of PFAS until harm is proven means that these substances can legally continue to accumulate in the environment, steadily increasing the long term environmental and financial burden. (Conclusion, Paragraph 106)
