Here in The Netherlands, a large DuPont/Chemours factory has been dumping waste products for over 30 years.

The maximum safe concentration of PFAS/PFOA has been reduced in the past years, due to better understanding of health concerns.

As a result and due to more public attention, water surfaces are now seen as harmful up to 10 miles away from the factory. The factory is located right between a medium sized city and a national park. Within a radius of a mile around the factory, people are advised not to grow vegetables.

I think many countries have similar stories and clean up costs are going to be huge.
