What is it like to live in one of Europe’s hotspots for PFAS contamination? Jeroen Van Reeth, a resident of Zwijndrecht—the Belgian town affected by PFAS produced by the chemical company 3M—opens his home to Euronews Tech Talks to share his experience.


We, then, speak with experts Jacob de Boer, Hans Peter Arp and Madeleine Bussemaker to uncover if and how it is possible to contain and destroy “forever chemicals”.
