‘Tidal wave’ of Pfas being launched to satisfy AI industry, campaigners warn

Pfas companies are launching a “tidal wave” of forever chemicals production to meet demand from the AI industry, a campaign organisation has warned. Despite alarm over the chemicals, which have been linked to cancer, a survey of the 10 biggest manufacturers found most had plans to increase production. Many frame their investments around the “AI revolution”, because of the role Pfas play in semiconductor production and next-generation datacentre cooling systems. But opponents warn that the chemicals, which never…

Current reading — problem

Expanding PFAS production to meet AI datacentre and semiconductor demand risks creating a new tidal wave of persistent forever chemicals that never degrade and undermines emerging restrictions.

What this doesn’t fix

Findings rest on a survey of only the 10 biggest PFAS manufacturers and on company statements about expansion plans, not measured production volumes.

How to verify without trusting this page

Fetch the canonical text of any version from /api/record/TRV-2026-1074 and hash it yourself — for example shasum -a 256 on the saved canonical field. The result must equal content_hash, and each version’s text ends with prev:followed by the prior version’s hash (version 1 chains to 64 zeros). If a single character of any version had been altered since certification, the chain would not reproduce.
