Companies Knew the Dangers of PFAS 'Forever Chemicals'—and Kept Them Secret
by Jeffrey Kluger
Jun 1, 2023 4:22 PM ET"#C8 is today defined as two chemicals—#PFOA and #PFOS—that are part of a class of more than 12,000 substances known collectively as #PFAS, short for per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances. Also known as '#ForeverChemicals' because that’s pretty much how long they linger in the environment, PFAS are used in thousands of products from textiles to #nonstick pans to #cosmetics to FireFightingFoam to #FoodPackaging, and more. The chemicals have been linked to a host of physical ills, including decreased fertility, high blood pressure in pregnant people, increased risk of certain cancers, developmental delays and low birthweight in children, hormonal disruption, high cholesterol, and reduced effectiveness of the immune system."

#PFAS '#ForeverChemicals' above drinking water guidelines in global source #water
We’re likely underestimating the future impact of PFAS in the environment, a new UNSW Sydney-led study shows.
by Sherry Landow
April 8, 2024"Per-and poly-fluoroalkyl substances – commonly known as PFAS – are a group of over 14,000 human-made chemicals that have been popular since the 1950s for their diverse uses in resisting heat, water, grease and stains.
"They’ve been commonly found in household products like #nonStick frying pans, clothing, cosmetics, insecticides, and food packaging, as well as specialty industry products, like #FirefightingFoam.
"But despite their broad skillset, the chemicals have a dark side: they’re known as ‘forever chemicals’ because once they’re in the environment – or our bodies – they don’t degrade further.
"PFAS have been linked to environmental and health issues, including some #cancers, but a lot remains unknown about the true scale and potential impacts of the problem – including how much is in our water supply.
"A new UNSW-led international study, published today in Nature Geoscience, assessed the levels of PFAS contamination in surface and ground water around the globe.
"It found that much of our global source water exceeds PFAS safe drinking limits.
"'Many of our source waters are above PFAS regulatory limits,' says senior author of the study, UNSW Engineering Professor Denis O’Carroll.
"'We already knew that PFAS is pervasive in the environment, but I was surprised to find out the large fraction of source waters that are above drinking water advisory recommendations,' he says.
"'We're talking above 5 per cent, and it goes over 50 per cent in some cases.'"

This article goes on to talk about how to limit #PFAS exposure. Too bad animals can't read news articles. But seriously, I wonder how many animals suffer from cancer as a result of PFAS? I mean, it's in the RAIN! Kinda hard to avoid rainwater -- especially if you live in nature and don't have water filters. smh
Study finds concerning contributing factor to childhood #cancer: ‘These findings have important public health implications’
Story by Laurelle Stelle
January 19, 2024"One of the most tragic and mystifying conditions a human being can experience is childhood leukemia. This potentially deadly cancer occurs at an incredibly young age before the patient has even been exposed to most of the risk factors usually associated with cancer.
"However, Environmental Health News (EHN) reports that a recent large study published in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute links childhood leukemia to a frighteningly common type of chemical: PFAS.
"PFAS (#perfluoroalkyl and #polyfluoroalkyl substances), also known as 'forever chemicals,' are a class of chemicals used in as many as 88% of #HouseholdProducts, especially those with #nonstick, #StainResistant, and #WaterResistant treatments. They’re called forever chemicals because they take an astronomically long time to break down, building up in the #environment instead as more are released.
"Unfortunately, PFAS have been found in water sources all over the world, including #raindrops, and they have been suspected as a likely cause of cancer."
