āForeverā Chemicals
šļø Start: Wed 10 Jun 2026 10:30 am
ā³ End: Wed 10 Jun 2026 12:00 pm
āForeverā Chemicals, otherwise known as PFAs, are a large group of synthetic organic compounds that have been around ā literally ā since the 1930s, when they were discovered, quite by accident, to be useful raw materials in the manufacture of plastics. Today, the problem of plastic pollution is a familiar one, but the PFAs themselves pose an even more insidious environmental threat: not only are they almost indestructible, but theyāve been found in the air we breathe, the water we drink, the soil we grow crops on, and even inside living organisms ā including us! In this thought-provoking talk, David McLellan from Torridge u3a will describe the history, the chemistry, the risks we face, and what ā if anything ā we can now do about it.
