>>The researchers sampled 39 brands of
straws made of paper, bamboo, glass,
stainless steel and plastic. Of those, 27
were found to contain PFAS, though
the concentrations were low.<p>So basically nothing new. I was actually surprised they didn't find tons of pfas in paper straws as those stuff are lined with waterproof coating. On a tangent, paper straws are a symbol of everything that's wrong with current climate politics; we have to deal with inferior products, while the actual corporations responsible are free to act with impunity. All these edicts banning stuff such as plastic straws are passed on high from the ivory towers of conventions filled with politicians and successful businessman, flown in on private jets and driven the last mile in photogenic electric cars, to talk about what the lower classes do and do not deserve to have.
