Industry acts to head off regulation on PFAS pollution from semiconductors
Briefly

The PFAS Consortium, formed amid a semiconductor production boom, aims to counter regulation on toxic waste, emphasizing industry-friendly scientific findings to minimize scrutiny.
Experts warn that unchecked semiconductor production could lead to severe toxic waste issues, with current industry practices releasing harmful levels of PFAS into the environment.
Lenny Siegel highlights the lack of attention towards semiconductor waste, underscoring the urgent need for environmental safeguards as production scales rapidly.
Testing revealed alarming PFAS levels in semiconductor wastewater, where contamination far exceeds EPA limits, sparking concern among public health advocates.
