EV Batteries are an Unexpected Source of Forever Chemical Pollution

Credit: DepositphotosScientists have discovered a new source of dangerous "forever chemical" pollution in the rechargeable lithium-ion batteries used in most electric vehicles.Certain lithium-ion battery technologies incorporate PFAS chemicals (per-and polyfluoroalkyl substances) to reduce flammability and improve electrical conductivity.According to a peer-reviewed study in the journal Nature Communications, scientists have found high levels of PFAS...
