It's a great graphic showing what is going to be a BIG problem with PFAS in the water industry. Current convention treatment methods (say at a drinking water treatment plant) can remove PFAS but then it's concentrated as a waste that goes somewhere else....like a landfill or a public wastewater treatment plant (POTW). From there, it can get "passed" back to a water source (groundwater and surface water), in an endless PFAS cycle that mirrors the water cycle.
The impact of this PFAS cycle is something that communities, industry and governing state/federal agencies should be considering.
Due to PFAS being everywhere, this cycle will continue to repeat unless we develop inexpensive ways to destroy PFAS. Fortunately, there are some promising technologies being developed but even so, it's going to be a long, hard road that will require everyone's help.

6dAnd given asbestos has its own dedicated chapter in the WHS Regulation (specifically Ch8) that consumes 45 pages which equates to 12.6% of the entire WHS Regulation, surely the $262.48 can be eased by making it free to read?
