- A new study found that nearly half of the nation's drinking water contains potentially harmful "forever chemicals," called PFAS. The substances have been linked to several serious health problems, including some cancers. Mark Strassmann reports on efforts to eliminate the chemicals, plus the study's lead author, Kelly Smalling, joins CBS News to break down the findings.

Not shocked at all. Our own food and water is killing us.

Someone warned you people at one point, and at one point you all laughed at those people. Americans deserve everything being done to them covertly.
It's being done on purpose

Imagine having a government that actually cares about people
End Citizens United. Stop corporations from buying politicians. Until that happens profit is all that matters.
We have that now ..... they care about Ukrainian people
Imagine the people caring for themselves. God never intended to have daddy government. We must throw them off like a bad case of fleas.

That will NEVER happen
@@GetH0NEY more like lets start by eliminating capitalism which is the root of most evil in today's society.
CDC: Tap water is fine.
Also CDC: But watch out for tap water.
PFAS is also in all plastic bottled water at very high levels. I thank God every day that I have well water, and it's safe, great tasting water.
Water can be used to drink but since it has chemicals people are worried. Chemicals are bad for consumption, not good, not good at all.
Water is suppose to be water, not chemicals. If we wanted water to be chemicals we would make it chemicals.
Let me break it down
Water = water
Chemicals = chemicals
Chemicals + water = chemicals
Water + water = water
So like I said, chemicals are not water. We want water.
If the people wanted chemical water we would ask, but we didn't ask for that. We wanted water.
@@chucklesthered2338 A lot of wells have been found to contain them, actually.
Trust the science!
@@GalaxyFur Only contaminated wells. My well has been lab tested for damn near everything and it passed with flying colors.
How much evil has 3M and DuPont left us with? Holy crap
Take a look at a chemical pollution map of the state of Delaware sometime, Dupont used to own that state. It's basically completely red on the chemical pollution map.
Don't forget Bayer, owner of Monsanto
I was about to say, Monsanto. EPA just reapproved glyphosate without much review. That's in our damn water too.
What do they have to do with us drinking tap water? Its your water company behind it all and FDA APPROVED IT
They are still in business 😢
California, Colorado, Hawaii, Maine, Maryland, Minnesota, New York, Oregon, Rhode Island, Vermont, and Washington have passed laws on the manufacture of PFAS and banned the use of it in food packaging.
Does that include the water supply or just the packaging.
@nonyabusiness3619 as far as I understand it, those states have laws regulating or banning the manufacturing and use products. No govt or human can keep it from getting into the water supply once it's manufactured and in our food. That's why it shouldn't be created.
dang, not a single red state......i guess that's what FREEDOM tastes like
Yeah well, MD still has a huge problem with atrazine in the water. There's also no shortage of forever chemicals in food and clothing, just to name a couple.
This is not a simple issue of red vs. Blue states. Everyone is fvcked, essentially.
There are clinically proven ways, however, to chelate these substances from the cells and tissues. This is a MUST, since these substances are going to be with us forever, even if they are removed from drinking water.

Every single company responsible for the polluted water should be hugely fined and forced to clean it up. 🤬

The problem is Pfas cannot be cleaned up.
@@HHIVR4 Then how did they concentrate it here? ...and wasn''t destroying it specifically what they were doing in this peice?
@@secondarycontainment4727 PFAs are FOREVER chemicals that cannot be filtered out of water once the water is contaminated.
DuPont,Chemours etc etc all knew this but there is no government regulation on PFAs so they dumped them in the rivers streams lakes and oceans.
How did this ever become legal in the first place
Deregulation.
New world new laws lol
Capitalism. Profit is king.
Like much bs we have to deal with Regan.
You buying Teflon pans
Nestle can't wait to charge you $30 for 1 bottle of this clean water.
haha ye
It’s sad how people are just finding this out but what’s even sadder is that the government has been letting this happen for decades.
Yeah money makes problems go away. Truth n it's sad
OK"Guy"...
"Guy"got a clear and present warning back in(1999)about:
"Suggest it"and similar chemicals leave serious chem trails-
"Figure of speech"
(Still learning)
We pay water bills all of us.
WE PAY this is unacceptable we should all SUE!
Lmmfaoooo
Sue who? What? With what money for a lawyer? Lol
If you want higher standards of water, you need to pay more. Tap water is not generally meant for consumption, although it’s acceptable for it. It’s the same water that goes into your toilet, shower and lawn. It doesn’t make sense to spend double the amount on cleaner water if it’s just going to end up on your lawn or in your toilet anyway, which is why you should get your drinking water from a superior source.
Yeh because suing is going to stop that cancer from metastasizing throughout your body.
We should all be rich by now..
So who pays all of us for the posioning us. We the people need to make these people accountable for what they have done. They can poison us and not be charged. WTF
You actually have a good point, the states have made the tobacco industry pay for their cancer causing chemicals, why not make companies pay settlements for these chemicals? Fastest way to get the stuff off the market is damage settlements.
Depopulation 🙃
@@BillySBC How cute. You think the government will let that happen?
@@motosk8er2 Why not? It's costing the government money to treat the cancer patients this stuff creates. Of course the government will let it happen if they think they can recoup some of the medical costs for treating it.
That's about like us making china pay for covid that'll never happen either
So who got charged for putting PFAS in water??? anyone in jail?? Depont should be paying for the treatment.....
I guess they haven’t tested the other 55%..
🤣🤣🤣
Tested 0.001% of the population
Lol right and not only that but I'm not sure that all of the us drinking water in all states and cities water supply has these chemicals in it and if we did then I'd say so would the rest of the world after a period of time I'm gonna say that it's a problem that resides close to where it happened and maybe surrounding states but not all 50
Oh they have they just don’t wanna cause anarchy by saying 99%
The Pfas leaches out of plastic bottles too
Only in the USA does things like this exist, other countries bans it
Can you prove this?
We have Nazis in power! The democrats!
Lol go to china, india, russia, all middle eastern countries and all of africa 🎉
Drink water from Mexico
Yes because you see Americans don't mind poisoning other people if it means more money for them, greedy, horrible people!
Water is about to get crazy expensive.
This world is evil
No the men who rule the world are evil.
I don’t even drink fountain drinks anymore or any tap water at all
Well, it turns out it's in higher concentrations in the meat and vegetables that you consume on a daily basis... And John Hopkins University just 'found PFAS contamination in 39 of more than 100 bottled water brands tested'... It's not as simple as you think..
Funny that the news didn’t talk about this until there was a solution.
That's literally a lie. Vice News, DW, they've all been pumping out content about PFAS for the past two years ON TH-cam.... Mainstream news isn't the only news available..
we need to fund this treatment technology so that we can raise it to full scale, so that we can treat ALL of our water. I don't think I'm alone in feeling that it is completely unacceptable for our drinking water to be polluted by harmful chemicals.
Should be part gov funded. Our tax dollars should make sure we have drinking water not killing us
@@trey5153 Exactly, that's what I'm saying.
Distilling all of the water will consume tremendous amount of energy. Imagine people flushing toilet with such expensive water. Solution is to ban the source and stop PFAS getting into our life.
That would be ideal but the FDA,AMA, & pharmaceutical industries would be very upset because if water is good, then people don't get sick, they loose money.
@@craigpennington1251 people would still get sick. You're being silly.
I'm from the North of England and the tapwater is delicious, it's like drinking bottled water as the water comes from the Pennines. Then I came to NYC where everyone raved that the tapwater was good but on tasting it, it was vile. No wonder you have so many problems if you think bad tapwater is good.
Our problems come from eating trash, not exercising, and not listening to doctors.
The tap water in Oregon is good. Most areas around where I live is well water.
Water in UK is toxic. Many people have died from it.
We have a lot of dirty politians on both sides. Almost everyone drinks bottled water.
The water in my area tastes like chlorine bleach.
This man asked “How worried should we as citizens be?” And she responded in essence “we told you the water is bad, so you decide on your own, do your own due diligence and then call your local proper authorities if you still care” Bih so the water is killing us but the government is not gonna step in because it doesn’t effect their rich communities, although who will work and run their corporations in all the workers are sick?! 😅

I’ve had a feeling about this for the past few months.. idk why. Some people I told about it thought I was being strange, but it was the weirdest inner feeling.
This is nothing new to be fair. Not sure why there’s a headline on it right now. We’ve known for years
@@stumpf9938 I know.. but I started getting a phobia recently of drinking even bottled water. I don’t hydrate enough because what can I trust? The cognitive dissonance is so real that instead I choose to drink juice and Powerade, etc (even though there’s definitely water content in there too). Not everybody has money to get a good water filter but I’m going to have to prioritize and save up! I feel worse for those who live near those toxic spills. 😭 Just awful how they could let this happen to fellow human beings.

We give our dogs filtered water too. The few times I thought I’d just fill a bowl from the tap the water had to settle because it was cloudy and I was like… nope I’ll just pay the city for water not to drink the water so I can also go out and pay for water so we can drink it…

I bet my last dollar the 45% is low income properties
It's in city water and well water. It's from plastic and pesticide runoff. Has nothing to do with income.
Most of Los Angeles (rich areas too) have well water far too polluted to drink.
Why does the government hate us, we pay our taxes, what else do they want? 😔
they want us to STFU and obey.!!!!!!
They don't hate you they hate God and since you're a part of God's creation they will destroy you to destroy God.
They have locked themselves away from their people and engaged in deranged groups and have lost touch with the needs of the bodies they govern. These groups have a terrible outlook on governance and teeter on the exact opposite of the meaning of governance.
Send the bills to companies who used said chemicals in products.
need to send them more than bills. they'll just do it again.
america is about capitalism. capitalism is not spending money on the public
DuPont "sold" their liabilities to Chemours. If it costs too much, they just go bankrupt.
Its too late its in our body forever
2:05 "to customers" so a harmful chemical that could cause life changing effects and we are going to sell the solution to profit off this disaster.
Well it's clearly far more complicated and expensive to remove them than normal water treatment. Any companies that produce PFAs should pay a tax to fund it

You should be lots worried."

Pfas have been contaminating farm fields and pastures across the US through manure compost & biosolids. And it's been going on for years...
This is just like the time the news said you could use Dawn dish soap to clean up ocean oil spills.
When there was a paint spill in Bristol PA, where I live, the govt said not to drink it in Philly but went back & forth to “it’s fine til this time” - “there’s nothing wrong with it” I call bull. The govt saw it would take longer to fix the problem & cost a lot of money so they decided not to fix it.
There's so many people that are young dying of cancer now, it's alarming. I'm in north east PA, it seems like having cancer & dying from it is the norm! That and pedophiles galore! PA is full of them
And it's found in 99.9 % of all living things now. Water water everywhere, but not a drop to drink.
Good luck holding any of the corporations responsible. After all, they're the ones which elect politicians, not the people.
Thanks Dupont 😑
And 3M

What technology do you speak of reverse osmosis?
Exactly.
Basic package
Premium package
Plus package
@@gsrjaycee4521 the new technology
@@gsrjaycee4521 Reverse Osmosis doesn't remove as much of the PFAS out of water as distillation...
So this explains why so many people are going crazy in our society. Can the public file major lawsuits?
no
These companies produce essential products for a majority of corporations around the country. I don't think you understand the magnitude of contamination. It's in EVERYTHING... Food and Meat included.
You need to purchase a 3M branded Reverse Osmosis water purifier to effectively eliminate PFAS that polluted by 3M in the first place.
Which also happens to be manufactured down the street from the processing plant making the PFAS in the first place.
Is it in bottled water too?
The kind that is just filtered tap water?
Just pulled this off Google:
"A new study found PFAS contamination in 39 of more than 100 bottled water brands tested"

Yep
I'm about to just start putting a bucket outside when it rains at this point. In all seriousness though, this is why it's important for us to pray and ask God to bless and protect us form everything that goes into our bodies.
Actually, rainwater is not safe either. The Stockholm University study in 2022 found that levels of PFAS contamination are so persistent and widespread that even the most sparsely populated regions of the world, such as Antarctica and the Tibetan plateau, contained levels of the toxic “forever chemicals” that surpassed even the most “stringent” existing guidelines, the authors said.
“There is nowhere on Earth where the rain would be safe to drink, according to the measurements that we have taken,” Ian Cousins, a professor at the university and lead author of the study, said recently.
There’s PFAS in the rain. Also, we need to hold the corporations accountable for their actions and limit our exposure to the toxic chemicals they carelessly left us with. Praying to god will do nothing.

not everyone can afford to pay for water that may or may not have the same issue....and everyone needs to shower and brush teeth. And wash vegetables and fruits. The wealthiest of course will never have to worry about treating their cancer or even drinking "plebian" water.
Besides Bobby Kennedy, which candidates are assertively addressing this serious health threat of pollution and its root source which is corporate capture of government agencies?
Gotta love these govt reports! "A $50 million research project shows that stinky tap water, which tastes contaminated, actually is contaminated." Who would have guessed it? 🙄
This needs to be expanded nationwide
PFAS remediation would be great if our government immediately make PFAS illegal for companies in the US as well as imported products. Then we could clean up what there is but we keep dumping more and more into the environment and its only going to get worse.

oh god… i’m guessing the towers were disgusting? i’ve never drank tap water but it still bothers me our typical tap water we use in showers and to wash our hands is this contaminated…
Don’t give your dogs tap water.
they used the words market and customers......why would we the public have to pay in any individual manner to have our drinking water cleaned from chemicals that corporations polluted and the government neglected to regulate. regardless of that logic, there is the inherent logic that the government fund whatever technology is necessary to make drinking water safe for future generations. Either form of logic, there should not be more than a tax increase at best to make this happen.
The meat producers and farmers in our country that use biosolids all have fields contaminated with PFAS. The problem is far greater than you can even begin to imagine...
sustainable means charge all the responsibility to working classes or ordinary people
just gaslighting
Don't forget the most important thing.... The cost!
I wonder if there are data in their study for specific areas
Just Google the EPA superfund sites
When I clean out our distillation tank there's always this red brownish liquid left behind. This us what is left in the water supply of Los Angeles.

Good. Now get one of these set ups down to East Palestine, Ohio ASAP! The wells and creeks are contaminated, children are bleeding from their ears and people are having seizures! Send the bill to Norfolk Southern Railroad, Blackrock or Vanguard. It's their railroad!
I'm so glad we got these fact checkers and that I should just throw out my 6 degrees in water chemistry. Tell me this, The metropolitan water district pulls water from the Colorado River water for southern California, but before they pull from the river, there are more than 452 wastewater discharges into that river upstream. Any pharmaceutical medicines can not be removed by conventional treatment. The only way to remove pharmaceuticals is to distill the water. That is our highest level of purification after deionized/reverse osmosis. Las Vegas is one of those discharges, It's guaranteed that there's pharmaceuticals in their discharge.

The molecules of PFAS made be broken and destroyed, but the atom making it up do not "magically" disappear. So the the statement that this process "Destroys" PFAS leaving only "Water and salt" is impossible. Where does the Carbon and Florine go (for instance)?

We wonder why we develop dementia/alzheimers. It's in our water, and food. I think it's best we eat as little as possible while eating as healthy as possible when we do consume, and an alternative to drinking water is to juice watermelon, and other high water content fruits because our water is so contaminated right now. Fruit isn't 100% perfect, but i believe it's the better option. Even the air we breathe. Best to take care of your health now before it's too late. Growing up in the "hood" i wish i was given the knowledge on how unhealthy, and what these food options were doing to my body at such a young age, even the ingredients when trying to eat healthy at home. Now that i'm older (34, i'm an old man now), i have the knowledge, and can at least spread it to others.
