We should really come up with a better less chemical fear based name than “forever chemicals”.
Even “forever contaminants” would be a major improvement.
Just being a chemical that hangs around isn’t a bad thing. By that definition water is a “forever chemical”. I am well aware this isn’t what’s meant by forever chemical but the naming should involve something implying the negativity other than the ignorant use of chemical as a negative.
