the EPA announced they're rolling back regulations on forever chemicals today. the crew behind veritasium timed the release of this video so perfectly that i can't help but wonder if they held it in the backlog waiting for this admin's EPA to do some dumb shit.
It would make a lot of sense for them to do that. Just by the standards of their videos, you can tell there's a lot of brilliant people working on them.
Firefighters get exposed to a lot of PFAS from the fire suppressant foam. Firefighters who donated blood regularly had lower levels of blood-PFAS than non-donors. Donating blood might be one current option to reduce your PFAS levels.
Pardon my ignorance, but if your blood has high levels of PFAS, wouldnโt you then be donating contaminated blood?
Yes. But when you need a transfusion to live it's still a good deal for you. Besides, you can always just donate blood later to bring your levels back down.
Sorry doctor, I only accept free rage, organic, pfas free blood transfusions.
Maybe, I'm ignorant of the answer to that. I think they often separate blood so maybe it gets filtered.
So what you're saying is the cure is... Blood letting?
Always has been ๐๐จโ๐๐ซ๐จโ๐
Lol. Sounds like some RFK nonsense when you put it like that.
It's the foams specifically for fighting fuel fires that are made from PFAS. Unfortunately, their safety gear also is loaded with PFAS.
