    I’m not sure that that matters when it’s in our food and water.

        Turning the water to the toilet off won’t do much when the whole length of the plumbing is split and spewing water throughout the whole house.

        We already know PFAS can be absorbed through the skin, but it’s so much worse being absorbed internally. We already know how bad that is for us, so it doesn’t matter if it’s bad or worse, we should try to get exposure to zero regardless.

            I don’t really understand the analogy, then. Of course we should stop PFAS pollution at the source, that being the chemicals plants producing it. But we should also be addressing all the contamination in our food and water first of all. That’s the biggest and most immediate issue.
