**Summary:**

1. A study found that lithium-ion batteries contain bis-FASI chemicals, a sub-class of PFAS, which contribute to pollution in air and water.
2. Researchers detected high bis-FASI concentrations near manufacturing sites and landfills, revealing these chemicals’ environmental persistence and toxicity.
3. While essential for clean energy, lithium-ion batteries pose a PFAS pollution risk, necessitating better manufacturing and recycling solutions.
