Thinking about this a bit more, and chatting with our #NoLeedsDataCentre campaign, isn't it time for @unitednationsbk.bsky.social to bring a #ClassAction on behalf of the world's people, and #nature, against the global chemical industry? Time to ban #PFAS.
An "issue of global environmental justice", UN Special Rapporteur on toxics and human rights Bethanie Carney Almroth highlights the disproportionate burden brought about by #PFAS-laden waste, especially by communities facing poverty-discrimination and marginalization.
Presenting the report of former mandate holder, Marcos Orellana, UN SR toxics Carney Almroth underscores extreme persistence of #PFAS in the environment, where there "are currently no effective and scalable technologies capable of removing them."
Top #PFAS manufacturers plan to increase production in order to meet demand from the AI industry.
PFAS can be used for data centre cooling & in semiconductors. Rising production undermines emerging regulatory efforts aimed at restricting PFAS 🔽
Scientists have warned that Pfas accumulation in the environment has already breached a planetary boundary.
#foreverchemicals are thought to contaminate the blood of nearly every living person. Research links them to cancer, liver disease, kidney issues, high cholesterol & birth defects.
