"That term does not refer to how long they stay in your body."
I didn't assert that. I did state that after 70 years of only getting to some vague level of trace amounts its still likely there and that something of that nature is a "forever chemical" indeed. You haven't cancelled that.
You do realise that PFOS actually does have a half-life when in the body and that the body does break them down? Slowly. My point is that even at 5.3 years or anything around that half-life the stuff is in your body. Basically forever... until you're likely very old or dead.
You want to quibble about "forever" in a human being only 70 years. Ok. That's excessively pedantic however I'm not going to exhaustively iterate over every detail to do so.
Your link is year-on-year PFOS concentrations. Seems that the exposure from the environment is increasing. Sure.
How does that cancel out what I wrote? I fail to see where you've cancelled out my simulation at all.
