dupont teflon was pivitol in the manhattan project

 

it wasn’t for nothing… and it ended up in many useful places, but at what cost? and did we really need non stick pans? and should there have been more regulations at the factory? the water pollution? and limitation in its use of such materials across the globe? yes yes and yes. that is some crazy shit… “the biggest chemical cover up in history. PFAS has polluted the entire global water system. now, potentially dangerous forever chemicals are being found in the entire US population blood samples.”

here is an interesting history of dupont’s teflon and the forever chemicals each one of us carries today in our blood, thanks to this great invention. from polar bears in the arctic, to the fish in our oceans that we eat, to the water we drink, PFAS are everywhere… and you must note that according to the U.S. environmental protection agency (EPA), there is NO safe level of exposure to PFAS. of course thanks to donlad trump the EPA just delayed, and may possibly remove, their requirements and limits to measure PFAS or forever chemicals in our water supply. by km
