@paulisci forty years ago, the air wasn’t full of forest fire smoke. It was full of leaded gas fumes.

@paulisci but forty years ago, I could drink the water from streams. Now they’re all polluted.

@Shanmonster @paulisci What streams were you drinking from in 1980? Besides parasites, there are many *many* examples of contaminated waterways that predate 1980. Not just love canal.

But keep in mind that PFAS might scare you now but it was invented in the 1960's and was in extremely broad use throughout the 70's.

@paulisci @KatieLoves2Read I lived out in the bush, not close to any cities.
