“[China] now makes somewhere between 64 and
292 tons of PFOA per year, most of which
is released directly into the water and air.
Total PFOA emissions in China may be as high
as 168 tons per year, according to one recent estimate…
…China also produces between 110 and 220 tons of PFOS per
year, more than any other country” (Lerner 2016)
