The advice in front of us is that there's no conclusive evidence in relation to the link between PFAS and the health effects that Senator Rice references. We are, of course, taking action. We are taking precautionary steps. We're not going as far as Senator Rice is suggesting because, in all of the circumstances and based on all of the advice in front of us, we don't believe that that would be justified at this point in time.
