It does seem to be determined that these pose some degree of hazard.
Two problems:
1) defining the class sufficiently broadly to encompass the entire set so mfgrs can't just dodge the regulations by rearranging the molecule a bit and making the regulators play whack-a-mole, and possibly making things worse
2) not making the regulations too onerous, such as a sudden total ban. Yes, a lot of disposable uses should be discouraged or contained, and it may be reasonable to phase out all use to develop better alternatives.
- tehjoker 3y agoFor what it's worth, depending on the harms, a sudden total ban is not out of the question as being beneficial to humanity as a whole. It would just be disruptive to enterprise, boo hoo. We don't need to always treat bad actors with kid gloves.
