The #PCB problem in building products, which includes #caulking, #sealants, #adhesives, is not limited to #Vermont. Note #Legacy does not mean "in the past". #GreenBuildings means #NonToxicBuildings.

Breakthrough process was developed by UCR scientists for drinking water treatment and toxic site remediation
"Examples of PFAS-containing products include grease-resistant paper wrappers and containers such as microwave #popcorn bags, #pizza boxes, and #candy wrappers; stain and water repellents used on #carpets, #upholstery, #clothing, and other fabrics; #cleaning products; non-stick #cookware; and #paints, #varnishes, and #sealants, according to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, or EPA."
