Most of the companies ChemSec identifies among the world's biggest PFAS producers, the group of synthetic compounds known as 'forever chemicals', are planning to expand their production capacity to meet growing demand from the artificial intelligence industry and other sectors, according to a new report from Swedish chemicals organisation ChemSec.
The group has warned that the planned expansion could trigger a fresh 'tidal wave' of the substances just as governments in Europe, the UK and the US are taking steps to restrict some PFAS uses.
