    These terrible chemicals are just not worth it at all.

    The only people suffering from forever chemicals being banned are the people producing these poisons.

    You can’t even drink rainwater anymore. This is killing us.

      No, everyone on the planet will be suffering, because PFAS are vital for the manufacturing of integrated circuits, without them, we wouldn’t have computers, and by extension, all the products the latter made possible.

          Since lithium-ion fires can produce its own oxygen supply it wouldn’t work as an extinguishing method but, it could be used to contain the toxic and flammable fumes the fire would create

        Nor anything else as the fire creates its own oxygen and thus must be allowed to burn itself out.

        You put it in a box and set that box on fire. You have to fight fire with fire.
