The Netherlands has designated a PFA called "GenX" a hazardous, so it can't be disposed of there. So it is paying a subsidiary of Dupont to import GenX "waste" into the US and do something or other with it in North Carolina. However, people there fear it will be leak, or leak slowly after being dumped in of "deep wells", so they convinced the EPA to block the shipment.

Banning PFAs is the first crucial step towards ending that form of pollution, but we will still need to find a safe way to dispose of the stocks of PFAs that already exist.
