Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS) Determined by the EPA to be a groundwater contaminent https://www.epa.gov/pfas The law does say 'banned unless unavoidable', so the chipmakers may have a case here.

PFAS are forever chemicals that affect everyone in the world.

They use it because it's cheap and is a slow poison like fluoride. Instead of pumping jew chemical companies (Dupont, Dow, 3M) with more money to create poisons, maybe research alternatives...

I'd rather go without the microchips, than poison generations of humans...

PFAS in your canned foods is a far bigger issue to me. The Semiconductor industry has cleaned up its act since the 1960s. I would be very curious to see recent studies based on modern day fabs operating under modern procedures and their impact on groundwater instead of painting the industry with the broad brush of 60 year old incidents that have long ago been eliminated. I don't believe the modern semiconductor industry is a major contributor of PFAS into the environment. I would not be surprised if these 60 year ago issues are being used in an attempt to hobble America's technical advantage in the semiconductor industry.

Fun fact - in Maine, TI is the largest consumer of the public water supply in the State.
