Virtually all freshwater fishing and rainwater in the USA now has PFAS
It's also found in human mothers' breast milk when nursing.
It's teflon, etc. and it is never ever going away, we've made the planet toxic, forget global-warming/climate-change, this is going to take us out even sooner.
Elsewhere in the thread people mention bike chains but that pales skiers have been putting telfon on their skis to go faster/easier for decades now and all that stays on the snow and then melts into the water/ground forever.
