I know we don't want to kill birds, but if we want a good bang for the buck, it's especially for PFAS. There was good leadership for the harmful and non-standard contaminant called organofluorine, but there was also.... When you look at the periodic table, there's fluorine, chlorine, and bromine, as well. These are now taken into account molecule by molecule. Fluorine was taken as a family. When it's taken as a family, it helps us a lot, because if manufacturers change a process they cannot do it to another molecule in the same family. That's not so for bromine and chlorine. They can do it there, so if we can change that, it will be a good bang for the buck.
