Disqualified over a snowboard? That’s what happened to one Olympian after PFASs were found in his equipment.

These chemicals are used in everything from water-resistant gear to non-stick pans.

Under the Stockholm Convention, countries are working to phase out the most harmful PFASs: https://t.co/uAgdwzsozJ
