It's crazy to me how unaware people are of these type of issues. I've found that some people just really don't wanna know and the majority are so distracted by nonsense. Doesn't help that the media amplify the nonsense and either won't touch or just dip the tip of one toe in on what's seriously important..I'm sure that doesn't have anything to do w who owns them and where their money comes from🙄

13 years ago, for CC speech class, I gave a report on the dangers of fish farming(I've done commercial salmon fishing in Alaska). One topic I couldn't help writing about was PCBs, but I couldn't find a solid study showing their dangers besides the fact that they don't break down, and get passed up the food chain. I got a B instead of a A for that😥

As a former USAF Firefighter, we were told in the early 80's to not allow AFFF to reach storm drains or run off onto grass or dirt. I used AFFF for over 4 years while serving. Sometimes we become covered in the stuff while training on pit fires or while refilling AFFF into our trucks. I have been completely soaked in AFFF and we were never told it was bad for us, just the environment. Thanks for reporting on this story. Firefighters from all over are trying to get more information on our exposure and who will be responsible for our failing health due to AFFF. Thanks again John.

Unfortunately, accountability isn't something our Government is even remotely good at providing. At best, a class action lawsuit is filed. (In which case, is typically settled for literally less than .5% of Dupont's quarterly earnings AND, ends up being paid decades after most of the victims have already suffered and died from whatever it was that caused their illness in the first place.) At worst, what we currently have now. Which is as any third grader could guess, absolutely zilch.

Dupont is the company that happened to achieve a near monopoly on the chemical industry so that's the one we hear about, but any other company in their position would be doing the exact same thing.

However, the synthesis i'll be doing is coincidentally somehow just 1 simple step away from turning it into DuPonts C8 😅.That's what led me here. Luckily it's not something accidentally made.

FINALLY, coming from an environmental geoscience background, hearing someone talk about PFAS is amazing. Just don't forget that companies replaced them with chemicals with similar properties for the same uses, and cursory evidence shows they likely have the same effects on the body, possibly in even lower concentrations. (PFAS is considered toxic at anything >1ppt. That's about on par with a raindrop compared to around 24 Olympic sized swimming pools.)

Now i am not an expert, but blood is naturaly switched out over time, so without a new PFAS source you would think it goes away eventualy, but i guess for that the old blood would have to not loop its components back into the system, which it likely does, but you can kind of get around that with blood transfusions. So you could lower it over time, but as i understand it blood transfusions shorten your life expectancy if done frequently so the solution to the problem is probably expensive, uncomfortable and also bad for your health.

There's also a documentary called "The Devil We Know," perhaps the best doc I've ever seen (on Prime). It's so enraging that you've no idea what to do with your anger, other than to throw your Teflon pans away. But since Teflon never dies, all you're really doing is spitting in the wind. It's this kind of thing that creates such polarization in something like a pandemic. While I've chosen to be vaccinated, do I really blame friends who don't trust Big Pharma, after all the nightmares they've put upon us? And I'm not talking about innocent mistakes but rather deliberate actions based in greed. I do believe the Covid vaccine data is accurate and that good people are in charge of the research and distribution, but I don't have the rage some do at those who won't vaccinate. It's because of stories like these.

Thanks, I teach the Boy Scout Chemistry Merit Badge in Delaware. The term “Devil’s Piss” is a real technical term used in DuPont during my career there. When acid hits the employee’s eye ball, the on-site doctor is trained to pluck it out since the acid keeps eating into the flesh until it reacts with calcium in the bone. There is no bone behind the eye so the acid would penetrate into the brain. Employees learn this quickly and wear acid goggles and safety glass eye shields like the DuPont Magic spokesperson in the video.

My boyfriend’s father lives within the Wolverine contamination zone, and he gets his water from a well source. He was recently (within the past two years) diagnosed with colon cancer, but thankfully it was caught early on and so far all cancerous legions seem to be gone for good. I suspect that my boyfriend will need to be extra careful in monitoring himself for certain cancers, since he spend the first 20 years of his life growing up on well water from the contamination zone.

Everyone forgets we already had non-stick pans before Teflon: pans made of cast iron. Don't knock em till you've tried them. And don't tell me they are too expensive; a single good cast iron pan can literally last you a lifetime. When my grandparents passed away, I inherited their cast ironware. Use them everyday. Want to know the real reason why we don't use cast iron anymore? Because manufacturers figured out they could sell you an inferior product that you would have to replace every few years. Screw them. I will never have to buy a pan again.

I've had all my cast iron pans for at least 20 years. My mom uses them and so did my tiny frail grandmother. It does take a little while to get the hang of using them properly but totally worth it in the long run. Another replied about having to always reseason them. I gotta say that I've never had to reseason my cast iron unless I accidentally burnt something beyond repair and had no choice but to scrub it out with soap. If you stick with the old fashioned 'wipe don't wash' your pans will go years without needing to be reseasoned, and they'll get slicker and easier to use every time. Oh as far as cost goes, I got all of mine at 2nd hand stores for less than $5 each. I love 'em!

Amity High School in Woodbridge, CT has elevated PFAS in the runoff from new artificial turf field installed this summer. The vendor, Field Turf Inc., claimed no PFAS in the manufacturing process. Clearly they lied. There is also elevated levels of selenium due to the tons of tires that have been turned into 1 mm beads as underlayment for the turf. These beads are washing off the field and getting tracking into the environment by the bucket load. The town Planning and Zoning Board initially avoided the issue by permitting the field to go in if the vendor promised no PFAS or PFOS chemicals. When presented with this evidence of PFAS post-installation, they are doing nothing. The Amity School Board, the Woodbridge Board of Selectmen, the Regional Water Authority, and the Inland Wetlands Commission all are doing nothing just as they did nothing to prevent this toxic mess from getting installed in the first place. This, despite the fact that most people in town get the water from wells. How is it that people can be so irresponsible? They all suck so much I can’t stand it.

But a lot of compagnie do greenwashing these day by, for exemple, replacing PFAS by an other foreverchemial as harmfull but aloing them to claim that their product don't have PFAS. If a product is anti-adhesive you can safely assume forver-chemical is in it.

A lot of the lines in this episode are absolute gold but “that incel Santa” is clearly underrated

The reimagined show title (‘That Thing You Like Is Bad’), with him renamed as “Saddy Longlegs,” deserves a place on the trophy shelf. I legit guffawed.

it is if you're a libertarian who loves freedom and hates communism. edit: since people are making assumptions, I just want to clarify that I'm not a libertarian myself. I actually like critical thinking and functioning societies.

Me: looks at the Teflon pans my family used my whole childhood Also me: looks at my medical debt as a 25 year old from the several severe chronic illnesses I’ve had for over a decade..... Me again: “well.....at least it didn’t stick.”

I'm certain their market research absolutely knows that it's the same people who most want a low effort pans who'd be most likely to be careless with it, scratch it, leave it on hot stove and then not replace it. I know I've used a knife to pick up stuff off the pan because I'm too lazy to find the spatula. they should've banned this stuff decades ago. why is it so impossible to change things before it's a catastrophe. I'm hoping AI assistance to governance would remove some of these clearly human weaknesses in future

As a sufferer and near-casualty of ulcerative colitis, anything that gives it to you is serious business and not a little bit evil.
