How One Company Secretly Poisoned The Planet

They've contaminated the planet with PFAS, 'forever chemicals' that don't break down. These chemicals, used in products like Teflon and Scotchgard, are now in nearly everyone's blood and linked to serious health issues.

• 🧪 DuPont's Teflon production used PFOA (C8) as a processing aid, which was dumped into the environment.
• 🩸 The host's blood test revealed elevated levels of PFOA, PFOS, and PFHxS, exceeding US averages.
• 💧 Water contamination is a major exposure route, especially near factories, airports, and military bases using firefighting foam.
• 🍔 Food packaging, like fast-food wrappers and microwave popcorn bags, can leach PFAS into food.
• 📉 The EPA has set new, stricter limits for PFAS in drinking water, but regulations are still evolving.
