Wanted to translate it but it’s taking me too long through DeepL

Basically 3M, a chemical company in the city of Antwerp, now wants to legally dump their toxic waste into the river. They’ve been doing so illegally for the past decades as the city officials look away, but they now want to do it in a legal way and have applied for a permit. One of their reasonings even is that it has been happening for so long now that we might as well do it.

Citizens of Antwerp (urban area pop 1.2 million) already have insane levels of PFAS in their blood. We’re not ‘allowed’ to eat chicken eggs or grown veggies in a 15 miles radius from the factory.

I’m already trying to find ways to combat this with the party, but my God does this make me angry.
