This is a bit misleading of a headline. It's entirely about PFAS, while yes they are used in Li-ion batteries, they are used very extensively across a huge amount of manufacturing.

Might as well say: Plastic used in EVs threaten world and environmental disaster through micro-plastics. And then talk about plastic manufacturing.
