    1. Banning would be noticeable in saving live. Nobody knows for sure how many deaths or sickness are from these Chemical.

  1. “We want batteries, we want medical devices. Yes, we all want all of that. We are not saying that we should remove (PFAS chemicals). We’re just saying to not change the definition of PFAS,” Venier said, noting lawmakers could instead grant exemptions for particular PFAS chemicals and uses.” It’s hard to know the truth from these types of articles. Democrats and liberals a henny pennies. I am sure there is some common sense to be applied here. They act as if we are against clean water, clean air…they say they want batteries, they want medical devices…and all of that. My question is do specific PFAS currently approved allow that? Is the bill smart and it just allows the Dems and Libs to score political points and conveniences them to have it passed by opposition but given the opportunity in the future would never consider changing the law? the truth is in no one…just agendas and power for the sake of power. I see the value of not having to fight them every year…it grows tiresome. When they get in power they can kill it if that is what should be done.
