Lithium-ion batteries are a source of dangerous pollution from 'everlasting chemicals', say researchers

Some technologies for making lithium-ion batteries use a class of chemical substances called PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances). They help make batteries less susceptible to ignition and increase their conductivity. However, they also pose a ...
