Another reason to eat organic...

"Toxic Pfas residue identified on 37% of California produce, new analysis finds"

They're using PFAS-laced pesticides (!), so non-organic grapes, strawberries, stone fruit (peaches, plums, nectarines, etc.) are covered with them.

And then the ground water in agricultural regions is getting contaminated by #PFAS.

This is more than a little unsettling, esp since "levels are especially alarming because children commonly eat fruits like grapes and strawberries, and children are most at risk from the chemicals’ toxic effects,"

But I'm sure the #PartyOfLife wouldn't support policies that hurt children, would they??

This High School Student Invented a Filter That Eliminates 96 Percent of Microplastics From Drinking Water

A magnetic field pulls the microplastics out of the water, and the ferrofluid is recovered and reused in a closed loop. her prototype successfully removed 95.52 percent of microplastics from the water and recycled 87.15 percent of the ferrofluid.

Ahh ... T journaal heeft het over zoveel PFAS in de grond door brandweer oefeningen op Soesterberg. (tot wel 10m diep)

Minister: 't komt ook door de buren. Via de grond en door de lucht'.

Gaan we weer...
