I was a jet engine mechanic in the US Air Force in the 1960s. Many of the hoses on the engines were lined with Teflon. We were told that if there ever was an engine fire in the hangar, to run, because the burning Teflon in the hoses releases a poisonous gas. When I came out of the Air Force, I was surprised to learn that they were selling frying pans lined with Teflon.

We ruined the lakes, rivers and oceans and the price we pay, is that we can't have seafood without major consequences.

There was a pfos and pfas scandal in Sweden recently too. 3M and Dupont put these chemicals into fire extinguishers as well.

same in Australia, firefighters have disproportionate levels of cancers and autoimmune disorders. They've come up with a great idea to reduce PFOA in their blood by donating blood or plasma regularly, and the medics think that recipients of this donated blood aren't under any particular risk of maxing out 'safe' blood PFOA levels, I'm not not sure how it's possible. It's crazy how a Melbourne firefighter Mick Tisbury, who investigated and made public all these issues, was harassed by his colleagues for pushing to have an old firefigter training facility closed down, it had gotten super contaminated over the years. They threatened him, blew up his letterbox a few times and killed his pets, a dog and after that - a miniature pet pig. Apparently some people prefer death from cancer to being unemployed. People working in ports and airports, using these fire extinguishers, are also more exposed to these chemicals.

I live in Roanoke (pronounced Row-Ah-Noke) and frequently go to Christiansburg and Blacksburg so seeing Elliston being listed was a shock. Found out the company is called ProChem that's been dumping GenX into the South Fork of the Roanke River (which feeds a Hollow for drinking water). Figured that at this point we would've banned dumping chemicals into the rivers because of how polluted the Roanoke River already is. We moved here when I was a kid and the first time I ever went fishing with my dad we were told by his coworkers to only catch and release them because everyone that ate the fish from the Roanoke River in the 80s and 90s would without fail get some rare aggressive cancer and die. There used to not be signs on the river saying this so we were fortunate to know people that told us this. To this day and for years to come I'm sure the Roanoke River will be off limits from eating the fish. Back in Louisiana where we moved from the Mississippi River from Baton Rouge to the Gulf is called "Cancer Alley" for the same reasons when big chemical companies dumped waste into the river making places like New Orleans have abnormally high cancer rates. Even though the EPA banned most of this dumping in the 70s and 80s a lot of those chemicals will be in the Mississippi for more than 1000 years.

He even travelled to diff factories around the world to facilitate the measures. Now that I think back, perhaps some of those were just for shows, but I do believe that most employees, different from few decision makers, firmly believe in what they were doing is for a better future.

I used to work for a carpet cleaning company (in the last 5 years). One of the most common services was a light misting of teflon on all carpet after the cleaning, followed up by raking it into the fibers. They changed products from teflon after it became common knowledge in my area that it caysed cancer, which is very recent. Crazy to think the health effects it likely had on people and their pets after 30 years of spraying it in almost every square foot of their home.

The concept of "a company" has been invented exactly to limit liability. It is the main thing. Some people with a lot of cash asked governments "i want to make more money but I don't want to be liable". And this is what you get. They are not liable with their money, and as it seems not even with jail time. P.S. It is not a problem of only individuals that manage the company, but shareholders as well. The shareholders will always wouch for the most profitable approach, even if it is an "operating expense at the cost of human health".

I was born, grew up, and still live in Parkersburg, WV and both my parents worked for DuPont while I was growing up. My mother worked on the Teflon line and my father was a researcher. I went into the plant multiple times for a take your kids to work day and it was very interesting to see the insides as a kid. Its wild looking back at this and remembering hearing my parents defend Teflon and claiming it was perfectly fine and all the talk about cancer was overblown. They really both were a bit too committed to the company and still are. As a person who lives in that area and has first hand experience with it here are some interesting things you missed. - In the late 2000's there was a large scale blood testing survey in the area in which researchers paid residents to draw their blood to check for the levels of chemicals in our blood level. I remember taking part in it because my parents gave me 20 dollars spending money for it and the rests into a college fund. - Chemors/Dupont have several nature areas they look after in the area that they used to try to help clean up their image in the community. They are pretty mediocre and used mainly for recreational areas rather than conservation. That being said, the semi-public pool has a very nice deep end. I can say this because I worked on one of them during the summer several times as a teenagers. - Not totally related to Dupont, but still tangential, there is a warning system in the area for if a chemicals plant blows up. This is due to the Shell plant in nearby Belpre, Ohio having a major explosion in 1994, causing some level of chemical fall out for the citizen. I remember this because we used to have to do drills at school where we would shelter in place and the teachers would tape up all the windows and doors so the chemicals wouldn't get in should it happen again.

Furthermore, corporate structures facilitate white collar crime and dampen the emotional impact even more. The leaders and the workers are all cut from the same stock. That is why I don't believe that individual responsibility is enough to save our planet. We need to make laws that force ourselves to behave responsibly. Which is easier said than done.

We should open up criminal liability on these CEO’s. If you want to take credit for company improvements and make absurd amounts of money doing it, you should at least be semi-responsible for the bad decisions you sign off on by default.

Very interesting story. Perhaps this explains all the health issues I have been having, especially the kidney issues. I grew up in Whitehall, MI and it was during the early years of the Teflon age. It just so happens that in the town just across the bridge that separated Whitehall from our (high-school "rival") town of Montague, there was a HUGE duPont plant. Said plant was on the shores of White Lake that was nestled between Whitehall and Montague. It was later found that duPont had been not only dumping into White Lake, but in essence also Lake Michigan which White Lake emptied into. Both towns drew their drinking water not only from White Lake, but also from Lake Michigan a mile or so from where the two bodies of water converged. They (duPont)also tainted the ground 💦 water by illegally burying and storing their off wastes on and into their property in metal barrels. As they rusted and then leaked it caused MAJOR contamination.They ended up being sued by the govt and became one of the huge clean-up SUPER sites of the 1980's. The drinking water for both cities was taken from White Lake and Lake Michigan exposing everyone to the poisons. Also our towns were some of the earliest, if not the first, cities to be getting fluoridated water. If that wasn't enough, on our side of the lake was a tannery that was also guilty of dumping into the lake and seriously polluting the ground water. Even if the serious health issues I've been having, especially kidney issues, were caused by my exposure to the pollution of these two companies, more than likely it couldn't be proven that the health issues were a result of the dumping.😢😢 Se la vie.

The industry tries to hide it - and its scared the lubricating industry here in Norway - the biggest outlets no longer have ptfe spray or pastes on their shelves. A little clue is the internet posts about dying Birds, another is other videos on you tube which arent quite so pretty -

A few of our fire houses here have been abandoned and rebuilt because of forever chemicals turn out gear is no longer allowed in the fire houses it has to stay in the garage area by the firetrucks separate washers and driers for turnout gear and regular uniforms this all started when a few firefighters ended up getting various forms of cancer but brain cancer was the main one

Of course it's DuPont. They should be held liable for crimes against humanity.

I was thinking the same thing. It is on the scale of a slow genocide.

Sometimes I see a beautiful house on acres of pristine land by a river for sale in the US and it’s a good price but then I go to that PFAS / C8 etc. interactive map online and see the levels in the area and they are off the charts, or I trace the river on a map and it leads back to a dump site. I’m sure this is true in other parts of the world as well.

Do you have the link for this map? I would like to check this out myself too. I have thought about buying land and then tried looking upstream...and found Dow or Chemours or other significant polluters and walked away from the idea of living in that particular area.

Reminds me, that the Japan has started dumping the Fukushima contaminated water they have been gathering on site since 2011. As he says in the video, 'you could have gotten cancer [or other ailment] from anywhere.

Not only do publicly traded companies like Dupont have "no incentive to stop doing this" in actual fact it would be ILELGAL for them to stop doing such things. If they factor in that the fines they will pay will be less than the cost of not polluting then the act of not polluting would be choosing to lose money for shareholders, which would get them in actual serious legal trouble with Wall Street.

I can't help but ask, if there are shareholders that own stock in chemicals that pollute millions, can't they be compensated in some way with being paid the amount their stock is worth or with shares in other products that may not even be on the market yet? Is my "uneducated" understanding wrong that anyone investing in the stock market knows it's a risk they're taking with their money?
