France 's lower-house National Assembly votes to limit production and sale of items containing polluting chemicals.

Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances ( PFAS ) are human-made chemicals used since the late 1940s to mass produce non-stick, waterproof and stain-resistant treatments that coat everything from frying pans to umbrellas, carpets, dental floss and ski wax.

They have seeped into the soil and groundwater, and from there into the food chain and drinking water.
