Polluted with PFOA
PFOA, a toxic chemical formerly used in products like non-stick pans, is carcinogenic and harmful to unborn children. Although banned in Japan from October 2021, high concentrations of PFOA have been found in Settsu City, Osaka, near a Daikin plant that used to manufacture the chemical. For years, residents were not told of the pollution.
