      Finally, the EU is trying to regulate forever chemicals (PFAS). You know that stuff that’s everywhere causing us cancer, infertility and other fun things.

      Predictably, the industry which produces these chemicals are doing everything in their power to resist this change. Their lobbying is now so aggressive, that the recent public consultation of the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA) was flooded with 5600 responses (mostly from coordinated industry participants), which resulted in 7000+ pages of “feedback”.

      The situation is so bad, that the Guardian (and many other) news outlets covered the issue recently.

      So we rolled up our sleeves, merged together the consultation data from 125 sources into a single spreadsheet and put it through CrowdPrisma. This resulted in (by far) our biggest analysis. This project wasn’t easy or cheap, but we like to help good causes and we are hoping that by spreading this news our software will help regulators, consultants across the globe in similar situations.

      When checking the dashboard, make sure to view it on a laptop with strong internet connection and have a bit of patience… You’re literally looking at 5000 pages of accurately analysed and categorised text. That’s nearly five Bibles of text which CrowdPrisma chewed through like a champ in just 4.5 hours.

      That ai garbage just removes any credentials that post might have.

      Reminds me the lead poisoning in the 1920’s which the industry did everything to tell us it was safe knowing it was not. The history really repeats itself.

      Better dont tell Donald Trump, or he tells everyone to start sniffing this stuff.

      Probably worth putting in the link to the original research https://foreverpollution.eu/lobbying/

      Forever chemicals like nuclear waste for example?

      Let’s hope the proposed regulations are not another example of a sympathetic green initiative that ends up doing undue damage to the European economy.

      As long as people who take the decisions for these companies are not sued and pay the consequences for their lies, threats, cover ups, falsifications…. So literally crimes under the names of their companies… It will just keep happening, if not worsen as it already does. It baffles me that one can have no shame poisoning their neighbours, friends and families for the interest of their company and money. Personal responsibility has totally disappeared.

      Industry should be at the service of people, not the other way around.

      I hope this won’t become a blanket ban on all fluorine-containing polymers. That would be catastrophic.

      The eu is „trying to regulate“ forever chemicals since at least 2006, what is this title…

      Currently eu discusses new restrictions(new implying that there is already some in place, because yes there are, not enough by far, hence new ones)

      Good to have EU, the care about all people, not the 1% like moneypeople in USA.

      Bullshit! They have forced it here in the netherlands, it will destroy and make dozen of problems, little companys will go bankrupt by theyre idiot rules., they will be bullying farmers, construction workers at European level now.
      Shortage of housing, shorting of degen produced food gets created by design. All for high housing prices and GMO Foods.

      Abolish EU.

      For everyone who wants to read about governments turning a blind eye to PFAS, look up how the Flemish (Belgium) government handled the 3M factory in Zwijndrecht. They’ve known about the factory polluting half the province with PFAS for 20 years.

      Time to cancel battery industry in EU I guess (main cathode binder is PFA)
