The risk assessment challenge for scientists, regulators and the environmental consulting community is that are thousands of types of PFAS, some of which have been more widely used and studied than others.

Picture this: A crossing for pedestrians, cyclists and those using mobility scooters that enhances local connectivity in Worcestershire, U.K. The difference?
