RE:Biden admin behind curtailling toxic "forever chemicals"Nice article. I'm glad that the Biden administration is finally going into action on PFAS with enforceable drinking water limits.
John Oliver did an expose on PFAS recently that sheds light on origins of the PFAS problem and the current state of affairs:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9W74aeuqsiU PFAS are a major problem. They’re pervasive contaminants dubbed ‘forever chemicals’ and have been getting a lot of press lately for their harmful impact on humans.

https://www.ewg.org/interactive-maps/pfas_contamination/ Peter does a great job highlighting the opportunity and PYR's chances of addressing it in this paragraph from the news release:
“PFAS are obviously a waste stream that has to be addressed, and in short order. As such, we are extremely proud to have been selected, in a highly competitive bidding process, to provide our proprietary plasma-based environmental solution to this significant problem facing the world,” said Mr. P. Peter Pascali, CEO and Chair of PyroGenesis. “The significance of this announcement goes far beyond the announcement itself as it represents our first commercial land-based system sold outside of the military and has opened up a significant opportunity for our land-based offerings within this segment. Outside the needs of our current Client there are many companies facing the same challenge and we fully expect to be providing similar solutions to these entities as well.” Pretty cool that PYR is finding so many ways for their technology to help the environment!
