Nicholas Coleman+FollowWould You Pay $357 to Test Your Blood?Ever wondered what’s in the air around you? A Connecticut dairy farmer did—and after coughing up $357 for a blood test, he found high levels of those infamous 'forever chemicals' (PFAS) in his system. These sneaky toxins are in everything from nonstick pans to raincoats, and now, apparently, in his backyard smoke. The drama? Incinerators burning these chemicals might be sending them straight into the neighborhood. Pro tip: Check your cookware and skip stain-resistant stuff if you want to dodge these invisible nasties. #PFAS #HealthHacks #EcoLiving #Business10Share
Edward Parrish+FollowRainwater Isn’t As Pure As You ThinkRemember catching raindrops on your tongue as a kid? Turns out, that innocent childhood memory is now a health hazard. A new study found that rainwater everywhere—even in super remote places—is loaded with 'forever chemicals' called PFAS, which come from plastics. These chemicals are way above safe levels and can mess with your immune system, hormones, and even cause cancer. Basically, rainwater is no longer safe to drink. Wild, right? #Rainwater #PFAS #ForeverChemicals #Health91Share
megangibson+FollowBirds’ Blood Reveals Shocking Toxin LevelsResearchers just found insanely high levels of PFAS (aka 'forever chemicals') in Chinese wading birds—like, up to 180x more than expected! These toxins stick around for centuries and can mess with everything from our immune systems to fertility. The wild part? These chemicals are showing up in the birds’ livers and the shellfish they eat, meaning it could impact humans too. Scientists are now racing to figure out where all this is coming from. Anyone else suddenly worried about what’s in their water? #ForeverChemicals #PFAS #WildlifeHealth #Science21Share
Vincent Perry+FollowWould You Drink Tap Water Near a Farm?Heads up: Perdue Farms is in hot water (literally) for allegedly letting 'forever chemicals' leak into local streams and wells. These are the same chemicals found in non-stick pans and food wrappers, and they stick around for ages—possibly upping cancer risks. Locals are demanding clean water ASAP, but the fix could take years. If you live near big farms, maybe double-check your tap water or grab a filter. Better safe than sorry! #WaterSafety #PFAS #MoneyLifehacks #Business00Share
Nicholas Coleman+FollowFree Fertilizer? Not So Fast!Ever heard of 'free' fertilizer turning into a nightmare? That’s what happened in Society Hill, SC, where an old textile mill gave farmers sludge that was supposed to help crops—but it was loaded with 'forever chemicals' (PFAS). Now, the EPA is stepping in to clean up, but the damage spread to thousands of acres. The lesson? Sometimes free stuff comes with a hidden price tag, especially when it comes to what goes into your food. #PFAS #FoodSafety #FarmLife #MoneyHacks #EcoChatter #Business00Share
Robert Evans+FollowWhy Your Insurance Might Ditch 'Forever Chemicals'Here’s a hot topic for your next coffee break: Insurance companies in Germany (and some in the US) are starting to cut coverage for damages linked to PFAS, those stubborn 'forever chemicals' found in everything from non-stick pans to raincoats. Why? Lawsuits over health risks are piling up, and insurers don’t want to foot the bill. If you’re a small business or just someone worried about clean water, this could mean higher costs or fewer options. Time to check your cookware—and your policy! #PFAS #Insurance #HealthHacks #ConsumerTips #MoneyMatters #Business00Share
