121Abstract

This paper examines the complex issue of persistent substances through the lens of tort liability, with a particular focus on the notion of damage. These substances are ubiquitous in the environment, and their complete elimination is virtually unattainable due to their exceptional chemical stability under natural conditions. The harms associated with their presence are varied and far-reaching, encompassing personal injury, property damage, and environmental harm. The study provides an overview of the different types of tort claims brought in response to such damage, as well as the challenges and limitations encountered in establishing liability from a comparative legal perspective.
