The Forever Chemical Scandal | Bloomberg Investigates

PFAS chemicals are used in thousands of products aimed at making life easier. But the chemicals are now almost everywhere, including in human blood, and are being linked to severe health problems.
Correction Note: At 37:45, this video incorrectly identifies the year Minnesota's ban on PFAS in food packaging will begin. The ban takes effect in 2024.

    Discover, find, invent, whatever, the chemical and immediately find its usefulness. The use of the substance towards warfare and/or profits, determines the course of the company. I have no doubt that there is less than 1% of the operating expenses devoted to the research done on consequences to the environment of the manufacturing, let alone its consequences upon the human social environment, and human health, along with our living world we live in. Can't hold them responsible. Being responsible would send a company into bankruptcy.

I fear my health problems are caused by the chemicals and materials i get in contact because of my work. Metal dust, paint dust, glue dust, lubricants, aerosols and different cleaning chemicals. Many of these are 3M and other big companies products. Also my cough and nose gets better when im on vacation and away from my job for some time. I think i should get a more healthier job....

    No it should have been taken from them all profits to remedy their harms and management put in place to remedy pollution. There will always be uses for Teflon many industrial parts need coated with it doesn't mean they have to be a risk to humans. You should look up artificial blood used experimentally without consent in the United States which is also a fluorocarbon here's a quote from an article "Imagine being in a car crash, lying unconscious and bleeding in an ambulance. With no blood on board, paramedics give you an experimental substitute, but even at the hospital, you get fake blood for several hours before doctors try the real thing."

    I am a landowner in AZ and I just ordered a PFAS testing kit to see if the groundwater here in Cochise County has high PFAS levels. The reason I suspect this is because we recharge our aquifers with reclaimed wastewater, but removing PFAS from wastewater is not mandatory in AZ. My concern is that I find a high concentration of PFAS in the groundwater. If that is the case, I am taking this to the next level. I have never heard of PFAS until this video, thank you for spreading awareness. We must battle Goliath!

    We cannot simply "stop it". Every chemical we make comes into exposure in the lab as a result of PTFE stir bars and protective coatings on industrial batch processing equipment. If you ended PFAs then you have literally no medicine, fertilizer, electronics... etc etc etc. All gone. Even food. Basically we all go back to living like Amish folk and the global population is reduced by ~90%... so we can't do that! But we can significantly reduce our use of PFAs in applications where they are entirely superfluous or totally unnecessary and greatly reduce our exposure by phasing it out of most (not all) applications. That we can do and we really should have done it decades ago. We are lead by the least of us.

One a man whose father was a production worker a a scotch guard factory who died from a rare and aggressive cancer, another whose career in the Minnesota Environmental Protection Agency was ended because he kept finding 3M dump sites. He literally would have to stop talking to control his anger when he attempted to explain the blatant disregard for environmental safety or implications of the willful non consideration of long term affects he dealt with. He was regarded as an intemperate grudge bearer who held a distorted view. Well, turns out his acerbic and caustic assessment was accurate. We all have been deliberately poisoned.

    I was an environmental health and safety manager for chrome plating and machine shop. We remanufactured part for the oil and gas industry. We used PFOS in our chrome tanks to prevent chrome misting during the plating process. We were not suppose to use it to prevent chrome misting but it was approved by the State because it lowered the maintenance on our air scrubber system. During plating process hydrogen bubbles surface to the top and pops creating chrome misting that clogs up the air scrubber faster. We added the forever chemical in our chrome tank to create more surface tension to prevent misting. The chemical was banned 2017 and we found another chemical but with slightly different chemical makeup. The employees are not only exposed to hexavalent chromium but the forever chemicals. Honestly, I don't think a person can put any measure of safety to prevent exposure to chromium or the forever chemicals. The scrubbers will not catch all the misting if the PFOS chemical is low in the tank. No matter what you do, the employees are exposed to one or the other. I resigned.

Seriously, what the heck is wrong with them? Such public damage over such a pointless thing -- we don't need scotchguard, teflon, or anything else like it.

    2 years years ago i had 6 chickens for eggs. I used to occasionally feed them scrambled eggs as a treat. I would cook them in a Teflon pan before serving them. Over time, some eggs started to have a rough surface, some were misshapen, and one hen had very soft shelled eggs that would break as it was being laid. The following year, i added 6 more hens. I no longer cook their eggs in a Teflon pan (for them and for my family), but rather in a cast iron skillet. The 2nd batch of 6 hens have perfect eggs, whereas the first set of 6 hens do not. 1 died from a broken egg inside of her, 1 still lays the very soft or missing shell eggs (and she only lays about 2 per week), one lays eggs with a very rough surface, 2 do not lay eggs at all, and one still lays one perfect egg every day. The hen (from the 1st batch of 6) that lays every day was the most timid and would often not get any of the scrambled eggs when i fed them as a treat (the other 5 gobbled them up as soon as I threw them to the ground). I say all this to say that the ONLY difference is me throwing away the Teflon pan and replacing it with a cast iron skillet for cooking. Since chickens have a shorter life span than humans, and thus a shorter reproductive period, this results in any disruption to their reproductive system showing up sooner than it would in humans. I believe Teflon pans to be an endocrine disruptor and a contributer to infertility. 😢😢 (But I'm not saying there aren't many other toxins that can contribute to infertility) This was just my experience and accidental experiment

    As an environmental chemist, I can affirm you that it's a myth that we can claim water as drinkable water. Water is only drinkable in relation to drinking water standards: the identity and concentration of the substances that we are "looking for", physico-chemical parameters. We usually say “We only find what we look for”. the series popularized a truncated vision of this science which, from a sample, could reveal its exact composition and even the age of the murderer! Identifying and measuring the concentrations of chemical substances of varied nature and in small quantities is difficult and very expensive. We should have thought about it in advance and only used its substances for uses where they are essential and bring very high cost benefits/risks. Using persistent substances for frying pans, pizza boxes, popcorn bags, pesticide formulations, waterproofing clothing, etc. is a total aberration. We are certainly not at the end of other surprises of this kind and remove them from water to make it drinkable also has a very high costs !

From what I can hardly remember any more, I believe some of those guys believed we needed the exposure to build immunities.

    One of the most important changes that Americans must demand and US regulators _must_ make is to require the approach more common in Europe: If a company is going to introduce a newly developed chemical, medication, etc., they must first prove that public and environmental exposure to it is safe. The US standard of waiting to see whether or not it is _harmful compared to public benefit_ just doesn't cut it, and this is a textbook example of why.

    While working as a contractor on a DuPont TEL plant where they were "improving" their methods of releasing harmful chemicals into the environment we designed a water curtain to better capture certain polutants. Prior to this they just pumped it into the air, but as regulations stiffened Dupont increased the height of their smokestack twice and then added a blower and heater to supercharge the exhaust into the atmosphere. Each time the "improvement" was meant to disperse the material over a wider and wider area and into the population with less ppm across a larger area😳, so as to meet the new regulations. We completed the water curtain design but before it would be installed tetraethyl lead was banned for use in road vehicles in the United States. Dupont was issued a stay on the order to install the equipment and was allowed to continue to pollute for over a year because they could still sell the product elsewhere. Just not in the U.S. And so as not to lose a dime of profit they continued polluting the U.S. until TEL was "regulated" from profitability in other parts of the world. Isn't that funny😂?

    Thanks for speaking up. I think contractors telling our stories will show the story behind the curtain with these companies, how they clearly and purposely pushed profits over following the rules for as long as possible. This is the information people need to see to show intent and disregard of everyone's safety. A cardboard box factory, that makes the boxes for average consumer goods, the inks they used were very concentrated, and came in 5 gallon buckets. They used to spray out the bucket with water when it was empty so it could be reused. That water drained into soil in "the pit" behind the plant where any water used to clean away chemical products would go, for the last 30 years. You could see where the drain ended, with a 50' ring of no plants or grass, then a sad grouping of sickly plants trying to grow 100' past that. They knew it was a problem, I was told to stay away from that area, because so much ink was in that soil, truck tires would get stained purple and leave stains across the entire parking lot and into the road, because it's happened a few times, and people would ask to many questions. Eventually they got cought with the bulk ink tank (2500 gallons) was leaking into the soil, we built them a concrete tub around it, but the pit was still there out back. I tried quietly to point it out to the inspector but it was "outside the permitted work area". And after saying that I was never called back for other jobs there, not so much as answering a call.

    My grandfather worked for DuPont and made teflon pans at one point. He was so proud to work there….he died from cancer of the lungs, never knowing how bad that company really was.

    Here in the Netherlands, Dordrecht, there's a Chemours factory as well. "Zembla" did some documentaries on it and if I understood it correctly the employees there had even more forever chemicals in their blood than their American factory colleagues. Imagine.... Black Water paints the picture dark enough and then finding out it might even be worse over here.

    This is not new. I taught about it in my science classes in the early '70s. This is only part of the story. All the persistent pesticides are also part of the problem. Any chemicals that mimic hormones are a problem.

    A big meeting in Ottawa is pretending to do something about ocean plastics. Our waste disposal in Canada is scandalous !

    Most carpet manufacturers have stopped using PFAS, which were previously used to make carpets stain- and soil-resistant. The U.S. carpet industry began transitioning away from PFOS, PFOA, and other long-chain PFAS chemicals in 2008. As of January 2020, retailers like The Home Depot and Lowe's have stopped selling carpets and rugs treated with PFAS. -Generative AI
