Maybe the heart was in the right place, but yet another test that consumers pay for is not really the solution to the PFAS problem. The solution is holding polluters accountable. Until that happens, the test is simply a luxury that allows you to put distance between you and this worldwide problem.

Even if 3M/Dow etc paid out a trillion dollars tomorrow, we'd still have the health problems to deal with.

And those are managed by quantifying your risk and taking steps, if necessary.

It isn't an exclusive or situation. I'd like to know my own levels to then figure out if I should start donating blood to reduce, as well as avoid things like takeout boxes or any other potential source of PFAS.
