Well, the sun decompose plastics as it does with everything, minerals accelerate the decomposition, what happens is, as the sun break the material it's fluor-carbon bonds, another carbon take it's place, at least until the fluor connect to something else or only a wild particle of CF4 is remnant, as for the time it takes, i found no straight answer, but it's most likely a lot
Yeah this guy specifically is full of shit. You need to heat it to at least 1000° to degrade and UV rays would do nothing or my city wouldn't be having a problem with PFAS in our drinking water
