Thanks for the comment. You hit on a key concept (the PP) that cuts across a lot of these issues (PFAS, climate change, Covid-19(84), other). More to come on that. An excellent point!
Once “Save the Planet!” became a popular emotional motivator (and to be sure a few productive environmental policies re clean air and water have resulted), it soon became a ginormous bandwagon for non-profit grifters to load up with the good-hearted credulous. Whereas … where do we who want to stop the madness … especially the climate catastrophe con … go to support a focused, rational, effective opposition? Where is our Real Science Defense Fund? So many of us feel helpless to defend our country from these gruesome assaults … I’m just one person, what can I do? I’m even outnumbered by my own family! Help!
We can hope logic dominates the future of PFAS regulation. Thank you for writing this up for review as well as you have. The comparison to municipal swimming pools is a very good way to get the average person familiar with concentrations.
what about the precautionary principle? They might not be dangerous or they still might be.

If only all the hysteria were actually about the facts. Unfortunately, countering grift-deployed fear with reality is devilishly difficult.
So the specious statistical sophistry known as Linear No Threshold principle beloved of regulators the World over strikes again...
Looks that way.....
