That requires governments taking a strong position against businesses that are using such toxic industrial compounds for the health of their citizens. But, when money is involved, political will is usually weak. As is often the case, there will be a lot of bought off politicians, who will attempt to ignore or gaslight.
The trick of contaminating the environment with such dangerous chemicals is that death is slow. That people die 10 or 20 years later of strange cancers or have children with odd birth defects, allows businesses wiggle room. It's not a clear immediate threat, so many minds are slow on grasping the extreme danger involved.
Only very strong consumer advocacy and voter pressure (where politicians demonstrably get kicked out of office) will have a chance of making a true difference.
