It probably wont happen in the US, but i really hope enough countries crack down on PFAs to have some reliable sources of safe everyday products
Great interview with investigative journalist about the work she did on uncovering PFAS https://youtu.be/zjjI7dqVvLQ?feature=shared
The British Columbia government has filed a class-action lawsuit against manufacturers of so-called “forever chemicals” it says are involved in the widespread contamination of drinking water systems.
Attorney General Niki Sharma says the province is the first Canadian jurisdiction to sue makers of perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl, known as PFAS chemicals.
B.C. has filed similar class-action lawsuits in the past, targeting tobacco manufacturers in 1998 and opioid makers in 2018 to recover health-care costs associated with those substances.
B.C. launches lawsuit against makers of ‘forever chemicals’I’m not sure that that matters when it’s in our food and water.
Toilet is actively flooding the basement. No need to turn the water off, the basement is already wet.
Turning the water to the toilet off won’t do much when the whole length of the plumbing is split and spewing water throughout the whole house.
We already know PFAS can be absorbed through the skin, but it’s so much worse being absorbed internally. We already know how bad that is for us, so it doesn’t matter if it’s bad or worse, we should try to get exposure to zero regardless.
i never said turn off the water at the toilet. You’re just looking to argue.
I don’t really understand the analogy, then. Of course we should stop PFAS pollution at the source, that being the chemicals plants producing it. But we should also be addressing all the contamination in our food and water first of all. That’s the biggest and most immediate issue.
Awesome. The guys at Dupont, Chemours (a subsidiary of Dupont), and 3M who put this shit into everything despite their own testing in the 70’s showing that it accumulated in humans and caused an increase in cancer must be super proud of themselves. They made their CEO’s millionaires, and all they had to do was poison everyone they ever knew, loved or cared about (plus everyone else).
