The present paper provides a comparative law analysis of liability for per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) pollution with a special focus on grounds for liability. The paper explores liability based on public and private law to reflect on the role of environmental litigation, its potential and its limitations. Further, with this scope and aim, the paper shall demonstrate the necessity of taking intra-, inter- and transdisciplinary approaches to tackle chemical environmental pollution. While the present paper focusses on forever chemicals, it furthermore emphasises the necessity to better understand the impacts of anthropogenic chemicals on the environment and human health.
