Cleaning up pollution from commonplace ‘forever chemicals’ could exceed £1.6 trillion across the UK and Europe, according to new analysis. The toxic substances can be found almost everywhere, posing a major public health risk that is unavoidable for most.
Effectively tackling the rise of the chemicals would cost £84bn a year for the next 20 years, according to the findings of a year-long investigation by the Forever Lobbying Project. The international team comprised dozens of journalists and experts across 16 countries.
