Awareness continues to grow in all areas around PFAS and the detrimental effects PFAS has on the environment and consumer health. Many regulations are in the process of being legislated, states are getting involved in litigation, the scientific communities continue to hone in on studying PFAS in the environment and its effects on human health, entrepreneurs continue to research and develop technologies to address PFAS degradation and handling. We expect 2025 to be a year of acceleration in all areas (technology, research, legislation and litigation) building upon the awareness foundation developed in 2024 and prior years and the focus with the Trump Administration (namely RFK, Jr as Director of HHS). Politicians not in tune with consumer awareness on PFAS and finding themselves on the wrong side of the issue will face significant challenges, as 98-99% of Americans have PFAS in their blood.
Thousands of lawsuits continue throughout the country. Examples of recent litigation:
We believe 2025 will become a year for acceleration in PFAS awareness among the public and in politics and business. The effects of growing litigation and regulation will begin to take shape and ripen with settlements, verdicts and new requirements for PFAS business reporting and compliance. As public awareness accelerates, those in politics and leaders in positions of influencing decisions on behalf of public health and environmental safety will be in the spotlight and be held accountable. Developments will reinforce our position that PFAS contamination in water and its link to cancer will be the Environmental Toxic Litigation of the Century and our lifetimes.
