💨 Abstract

An Italian court sentenced former executives of Miteni, a chemical company, for polluting water and soil with PFAS, or "forever" chemicals. This ruling has sparked concerns in Maharashtra's Ratnagiri district, where Mumbai-based Laxmi Organic Industries operates a fluorochemical plant using technology acquired from Miteni. Activists and politicians are questioning the plant's operation, citing potential environmental risks.
