Updates & Corrections
-
Correction 11 February 2019: An earlier version of this story misnamed the European Food Safety Authority. The article has also been modified to make clear that both lined and unlined landfills pose a risk to groundwater contamination.
-
Clarification 18 March 2019: An earlier version of this article created the impression that unlined landfills are frequently used for PFAS waste. In fact, lined landfills are standard in developed countries.
-
Clarification 26 March 2019: This story has been modified to make clear Detlef Knappe did not claim that some new PFASs evade the filter completely.
