Straws made from paper and bamboo, are often advertised as 'being more sustainable and eco-friendly' than those made from plastic. However, they contain Per- & Polyfluorinated substances (PFAS), which have been shown to be hazardous for the environment and hazardous to our health
Pernicious PFAS chemicals contaminate public water supplies, polluting the bodies of tens of millions of Americans. Employing proper water purification methods —namely reverse osmosis (RO) and distillation—can help remove most of these harmful compounds.
Cancer-causing forever chemicals (PFAS) were found in more than half of fruit and vegetable samples tested in the UK. This has led to calls for pesticides containing these chemicals to be banned sciencefocus.com/science/foreve…
WATCH: A new study found a relationship between commonly used chemicals such as PFAS and phenols and melanoma, ovarian and uterine cancer. ehn.org/chemical-in-pl…
Two weeks ago, EPA finalized the first-ever nationwide PFAS drinking water standard—the most significant action EPA has ever taken on “forever chemicals.” The standard will reduce exposure for approximately 100M people, preventing serious illness from drinking tainted water.
I’ve asked questions at estimates about why we don’t have labelling for forever chemicals like PFAS.
The Dept tried to assure me they’re safe, despite jurisdictions around the 🌏 banning them because of harm they’re doing to human & other life. smh.com.au/interactive/20…
Livet i havet er truet. PFAS-stoffer forurener vores drikkevand. Økosystemer er ved at kollapse, vandstanden stiger og mennesker sendes på flugt pga. klimakrisen. Alligevel forsøges vi tørret af med langsommelige 2050-planer. Det er der ikke tid til. Vi skal handle nu.
De Gezondheidsraad wil dat de overheid investeert in een langdurig meetprogramma, zodat burgers beter beschermd kunnen worden tegen de blootstelling aan schadelijke stoffen, zoals PFAS. nos.nl/artikel/251812…
Study finds PFAS from pesticides are present in many common foods. PFAS have been linked to cancers, thyroid, liver & kidney conditions, low fertility & birth defects, metabolic & blood sugar concerns.
🇩🇪 Skandal! ☠️ PFAS auch in Windrädern, wo man es absolut nicht bräuchte! Es steht im Verdacht Krebs zu verursachen, das Immunsystem zu schwächen und unfruchtbar zu machen. Die unsichtbare Gefahr.
