    I was the top comment. So no.

    as well as the original point of the article

    Which is why I was talking about reduction in cases where elimination isn’t feasible.

      You’re right, you were quoting the article not another person.

      Regardless, you asked for a critical look at the necessity of PFAS and whether it is possible to reduce usage. My original answer is the same, namely:

      One of the main uses for PFAS is electric vehicle batteries. So if “modern day life” means reducing CO2 emissions, then it will inevitably mean increased use of PFAS.
