The key to success in remediation and impactful measures has a few arms, one of which is regulatory constraints. That's the wind that makes the boat move. That's the most important thing. If regulatory constraints are not in place, and in a meaningful or addressable way—because it could go too far too—then there's simply no action.
If the CEPA bans PFAS and calls PFAS hazardous substances wherever they are, including at federal sites, the industry will stop doing anything. It's going to go to court, and it's going to last for 10 years. That's an example of going too far, and there are examples of doing too little. It's clear that we need to divulge the PFAS presence in components that we manufacture.
