#2It looks like this is for the actual island Jersey, and not New Jersey. I was pretty confused at first. People here on the East Coast call the state "Jersey" as often as we call it "New Jersey". Which is interesting now that I think of it, nobody EVER calls New York just "York".

Pretty much. Though looks like it actually works: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8994130/

#5Prompts a couple questions.
Are blood banks testing for levels of PFASs?
How does one test blood for PFASs?

I don't know, kind of makes sense to me why that would be the case. Something tells me there are more places that start with "York" as opposed to "Jersey", so there are more chances to cause confusion in the former case.

I'm more interested in why it never caught on regionally. There would rarely ever be any confusion, nobody in the states would think you were talking about York England. But it still never caught on for whatever reason.

#9Looks like some of their biggest food exports are potatoes and milk (mainly to UK/EU). I wonder if those are also contaminated.

#10The idea that the government settled with 3M for 2.6M is unconscionable and needs to be investigated. The paltry sum reeks of bribery and corruption.
