So, PFAS run-off is possibly from the ink that gets washed off the printer paper?
[edit: right! missed the wetting agents bit in the article >.<]
- toomuchtodo 3y ago> PFAS are used as “wetting agents” in the process of turning the pulp wood into paper or tissues, and Kleenex’s manufacturing process causes “substantial “ air emissions, the complaint alleges. State of Michigan guidance on identification, mitigation, and monitoring for industrial process pretreatment of PFAS: https://www.michigan.gov/-/media/Project/Websites/egle/Documents/Programs/WRD/IPP/PFAS-Guidance-Screening-Evaluation.pdf https://www.michigan.gov/-/media/Project/Websites/egle/Docum... My hot take is insufficient monitoring by state and federal environmental agencies at this facility.
