EU Report: 'Forever Chemicals' Cost

According to a report commissioned by the EU, as reported by Phys.org Earth Sciences, the continued use of 'forever chemicals' could have a significant economic impact on Europe, potentially costing up to 1.7 trillion euros by 2050. This substantial financial burden is attributed to the detrimental effects of these chemicals on both human health and the environment. As the mining industry navigates the complexities of environmental sustainability, this report highlights the importance of responsible practices and adherence to stringent regulations. The findings of this report may influence future policies and regulations, potentially affecting the mineral exploration and extraction processes in Europe.
