'Er is niet genoeg geld in de wereld om alle PFAS in het milieu te verwijderen.’ En nu?'
"PFAS zitten óveral in – pannen, jassen, verf – en zijn giftig. Belangrijker, ze vergaan niet en moeten dus worden verboden. De ene PFAS is de andere niet, werpen lobbyisten tegen. Helaas: ‘Het wordt alleen maar erger.’

In need of a reliable double side mounting tape? Look no further, this one is amazing!
In the last year been using it and stuff still hangs on. 
Het Vlaamse drinkwater zit vol met #TFA, de kleinste telg van de #PFAS-familie. Vlaams minister Jo Brouns legt nu toch een norm vast. Die is wel zeven keer minder streng dan de Nederlandse en Waalse.
Al een jaar zet Apache de problematiek op de kaart: van de verborgen lobby, over de rol van #3M, tot het politieke struisvogelgedrag.
An internal 3M memo from 1975 shows independent scientists first alerted the company they found PFAS chemicals in human blood in Texas and New York – and that Scotchgard was a likely source of the contamination.
During a recorded deposition, one 3M scientist said that "there always was a concern about the presence of materials in the workers’ blood and it was a bigger concern when it was found in the general population.
Der Schaum in Seen + Flüssen in Wisconsin enthält #ForeverChemicals aka #PFAS, die den Grenzwert für Trinkwasser um das 75.000fache übersteigen
Wann wird dieser Ökozid, der durch die Produkte von #3M et al. entsteht, endlich strafrechtlich verfolgt?

9 things you need to know about the inside story of how 3M allowed PFOS to seep into all of us while sitting on research that showed the chemical is toxic.

"In 1979, an internal company report deemed #PFOS 'certainly more #toxic than anticipated' and recommended longer-term studies. That year, #3M executives flew to San Francisco to consult Harold Hodge, a respected toxicologist. They told Hodge only part of what they knew: that PFOS had sickened and even killed laboratory animals and had caused #liver abnormalities in factory workers. According to a 3M document that was marked 'CONFIDENTIAL,' Hodge urged the executives to study whether the company’s fluorochemicals caused reproductive issues or cancer. After reviewing more data, he told one of them to find out whether the chemicals were present 'in man,' and he added, 'If the levels are high and widespread and the half-life is long, we could have a serious problem.' Yet Hodge’s warning was omitted from official meeting notes, and the company’s fluorochemical production increased over time."
Toxic #Gaslighting: How #3M Executives Convinced a Scientist the #ForeverChemicals She Found in Human Blood Were Safe
Decades ago, #KrisHansen showed 3M that its #PFAS chemicals were in people’s bodies. Her bosses halted her work. As the #EPA now forces the removal of the chemicals from drinking water, she wrestles with the secrets that 3M kept from her and the world.

"Kris Hansen had worked as a chemist at the 3M Corporation for about a year when her boss, an affable senior scientist named Jim Johnson, gave her a strange assignment. 3M had invented #ScotchTape and #PostIt notes; it sold everything from sandpaper to kitchen sponges. But on this day, in 1997, Johnson wanted Hansen to test human blood for chemical contamination.
"Several of 3M’s most successful products contained man-made compounds called #fluorochemicals. In a spray called #Scotchgard, fluorochemicals protected leather and fabric from stains. In a coating known as #Scotchban, they prevented food packaging from getting soggy. In a soapy foam used by #firefighters, they helped extinguish jet-fuel fires.
"Johnson explained to Hansen that one of the company’s fluorochemicals, #PFOS — short for perfluorooctanesulfonic acid — often found its way into the bodies of 3M factory workers. Although he said that they were unharmed, he had recently hired an outside lab to measure the levels in their blood. The lab had just reported something odd, however. For the sake of comparison, it had tested blood samples from the American Red Cross, which came from the general population and should have been free of fluorochemicals. Instead, it kept finding a contaminant in the blood.
"Johnson asked Hansen to figure out whether the lab had made a mistake. Detecting trace levels of chemicals was her specialty: She had recently written a doctoral dissertation about tiny particles in the atmosphere. Hansen’s team of lab technicians and junior scientists fetched a blood sample from a lab-supply company and prepped it for analysis. Then Hansen switched on an oven-size box known as a mass spectrometer, which weighs molecules so that scientists can identify them.
"As the lab equipment hummed around her, Hansen loaded a sample into the machine. A graph appeared on the mass spectrometer’s display; it suggested that there was a compound in the blood that could be PFOS. That’s weird, Hansen thought. Why would a chemical produced by 3M show up in people who had never worked for the company?"

‘This is #Chernobyl’: #Texas ranchers say ‘forever chemicals’ in waste-based fertilizers ruined their land
Story by Rebecca Lopez
April 28, 2024
"Ranchers here say their cattle, fish and horses are dying and getting sick because of a fertilizer spread on nearby farmland.
"The fertilizer is made from treated human waste from the city of Fort Worth.
"The company that makes the fertilizer says its products meet government standards.
"County officials have launched a criminal investigation, and ranchers are suing, saying runoff from the fertilizer has made their land useless."

The #EPA is proposing that '#ForeverChemicals' be considered #hazardous substances
by Ayana ArchieFeb, 02 2024
"The Environmental Protection Agency is proposing that nine #PFAS, also known as "forever chemicals," be categorized as hazardous to human health.
"The EPA signed a proposal Wednesday that would deem the chemicals "hazardous constituents" under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act.
"For the agency to consider a substance a hazardous constituent, it has to be toxic or cause cancer, genetic mutation or the malformations of an embryo. The full list of the nine substances can be found here.
"The agency cited various studies in which forever chemicals were found to cause a litany of "t#oxic effects" in humans and #animals, including, but not limited to cancer, a decreased response to vaccinations, #HighCholesterol, decrease in #fertility in women, #preeclampsia, #thyroid disorders and #asthma, the EPA said.
"Short for "per-and polyfluoroalkyl substances," PFAS cover thousands of man-made chemicals. PFAS are often used for manufacturing purposes, such as in #NonstickCookware, #adhesives, #firefighting foam, #turf and more [ex, #SkiWax].
"PFAS have been called "forever chemicals" because they break down very slowly and can accumulate in people, animals and the environment. Last summer, a study by the U.S. Geological Survey found that the man-made chemicals are present in nearly half the country's tap water supply.
"The survey tested for 32 types of PFAS, though there are more than 12,000, the USGS said, and they can pose a health threat even at very small amounts.
"In June, the chemical manufacturer 3M said it would pay about $10 billion in lawsuit settlements to help detoxify water supplies across the country, after plaintiffs claimed the company's firefighting foam and other products were responsible for contaminating #TapWater with PFAS.
"The proposed rule will be open for #PublicComment once it is uploaded to the Federal Register, under docket number EPA-HQ-OLEM-2023-0278."
