Ban All Perfluorinated Compounds?

If you want to know facts. Then the scientific community should certainly be consulted. Politicians will only produce information that can provide them with large sums of money. Unfortunately, they also control most of the purse strings for funding in the scientific community, so if your results are not what they want, you will find yourself without money or a job or both. Searching for truth is not a profitable or viable option in todays world. (Good grief, did I really say that? what a negative comment). Guess I'll go look at the stars for awhile and think beautiful thoughts.

Hello Techart!

I agree with your single-minded or categoric opinion but this is the VERITY. When a legislation starts, we have to know who is behind the idea of the legislation. Money talks everywhere all around the world. We manufacturers, we have to follow the big corporations' needs and wants, irrevelant if is good or bad, necessary or futile, dangerous or friendly. We are unable to say something valuable. Look around and what's happening with VOC? Certain products could put on the label for DIYrs 250 or even 350 g/l. Another industries or just products in different areas of business could label only 50 or 100 g/l. Why we don't simply ban of use VOC for house paints and cleaners for ordinary people whom are unable to see the difference, and these last are the majority for the consumption of products containing large amount of VOCs. Imagine, every gallon of oil or alkyd based paint releases more than half of the volume as VOC. It's waste of money, waste of precious organic raw material, which could be used for extremely important human saving products' manufacturing. Like I already said, nobody cares about the other person, and this attitude we all support to finally destroy everything around us and finally us too. However, I am confident that the last moment, someone get up and will do the right thing for the inactive rest. Hope that this last moment comes feast. Respect to everyone by Gil.
