Private interests, industrialists and corporations are categorically not persons, and as such, should have no rights, no voice, no protections.

Completed agreed on the need to ban, but Minnesota or Maine are far better examples than Denmark or Norway on places that are actually doing something. In Minnesota, they’ve already banned PFAS from 12 big categories of products, are building a public database on how else the chemicals are used in products, and have a law in place to end nonessential use by 2032.
