DoomsdaysCW<p>"In 1979, an internal company report deemed <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/PFOS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PFOS</span></a> 'certainly more <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/toxic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>toxic</span></a> than anticipated' and recommended longer-term studies. That year, <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/3M" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>3M</span></a> 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 <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/liver" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>liver</span></a> 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." </p><p><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/3MLied" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>3MLied</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ForeverChemicals" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ForeverChemicals</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/PFAS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PFAS</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Scotchgard" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Scotchgard</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Scotchban" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Scotchban</span></a></p>

Her bosses halted her work. As the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/EPA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>EPA</span></a> now forces the removal of the chemicals from drinking water, she wrestles with the secrets that 3M kept from her and the world. </p><p>by Sharon Lerner<br>May 20, 6 a.m. EDT</p><p>"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 <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ScotchTape" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ScotchTape</span></a> and <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/PostIt" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PostIt</span></a> 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.</p><p>"Several of 3M’s most successful products contained man-made compounds called <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/fluorochemicals" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>fluorochemicals</span></a>. In a spray called <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Scotchgard" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Scotchgard</span></a>, fluorochemicals protected leather and fabric from stains. In a coating known as <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Scotchban" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Scotchban</span></a>, they prevented food packaging from getting soggy. In a soapy foam used by <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/firefighters" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>firefighters</span></a>, they helped extinguish jet-fuel fires. </p><p>"Johnson explained to Hansen that one of the company’s fluorochemicals, <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/PFOS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PFOS</span></a> — 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.</p><p>"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.</p><p>"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?"</p><p>Read more:<br><a href="https://www.propublica.org/article/3m-forever-chemicals-pfas-pfos-inside-story?utm_source=pocket-newtab-en-us" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">propublica.org/article/3m-fore</span><span class="invisible">ver-chemicals-pfas-pfos-inside-story?utm_source=pocket-newtab-en-us</span></a> </p><p><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/3MLied" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>3MLied</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ToxicChemicals" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ToxicChemicals</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/FirefightingFoam" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FirefightingFoam</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Pollution" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Pollution</span></a></p>
