•Industry acts to head off regulation on PFAS pollution from semiconductors
84% Informative
PFAS chemicals and semiconductors, a key part of electronics, have formed a group that develops industry-friendly science aimed at heading off regulation as the facilities release high levels of toxic waste.
The group, called the PFAS Consortium , was formed during a boom in domestic semiconductor production spurred by the Chips and Science Act that has led to $825bn in investment aimed at shoring up industry.
Industry uses fluorinated gases, or PFAS gas, in a range of processes, and the toxicological risks of the gases are largely unknown.
Once in the atmosphere, the fluorinated gas can turn into TFA , a greenhouse gas with a life of more than 1,000 years .
