Recommend watching the movie, Dark Waters ... a 2019 American legal thriller film directed by Todd Haynes. The story dramatizes Robert Bilott's case against the chemical manufacturing corporation DuPont after they contaminated a town with unregulated (PFAS) chemicals.
Also shows how for dozens of years, certain industries were basically allowed to self-regulate; a recipe for disaster. This chemical is so indestructible that it's found worldwide. The USSC and GOP are now trying to remove much of the EPAs current authority to regulate chemicals. Be very afraid.
The children all proved birth defects, yet the mothers got nothing. The mothers worked with the chemicals directly and were then told, No pregnant women can work with it. Too late by that time. Babies were born looking like the calves down stream with the same birth defects. Yet, everyone still has faith in government and evil corporations.
This has gone on for many years . They are after Depopulation at any cost . Man has destroyed themselves and taking many innocent people with them .

Interesting how no legislation has come from EPA since the 90's, it's right up there with no anti - trust laws enforced and bailing out banks. It is always the responsible people who pay - both financially and in health.
Thanks for this report. It’s sickening to think these companies knew 60 years ago what the effects of PFAS would be and not stop before it became a worldwide disaster.
( read the book "silent Spring" - 1957 ) YOU knew of this 60 years ago - as well - but decided to IGNORE it / blame "others" for how poisonous the fertilizers & pest killer YOU were putting on your lawns were - in the 1960's
" Others are to blame for PFAS in 'my drinking water " ... ROUND-UP ( weed killer ) is a pfas - How many times have you used this product around your house? ... but "others are to blame for this" ???

Water, from its formula weight -18- one would predict it would be a gas at ordinary temperatures & pressures. Ammonia - with a formula weight of 17- is a gas at temperatures as low as minus 33'C. at atmospheric pressure. Hydrogen sulfide,, closely related to water by position in the periodic table & with a formula weight of 34, is a gas at temperatures down to minus 59°C. The fact that water exists as a liquid at all, at ordinary temperatures is something to make one stop and think. Water defys the laws of cold rationality. But leave it to greedy human idiots to add chemicals destroying our Life source is just mind boggling 😡 No living thing can survive without water, I cannot understand this. All those poor people who have dedicated their lives to farming, their payment is some form of cancer, diseased animals and farmland. This is an absolute outrage, how dare they 💔
Could you imagine how long we all would live if they had not Contaminated the Air, Water, and the soil? But I sleep better knowing that My tax Dollars soon to be taken from all of us at Gunpoint, will be going into the pockets of our Senators and Congressmen's mouths with Fresh, contamination free Food and Water. Doesn't that make you feel Good too?
Water is a very interesting compound, and indeed it should make one stop and think, but it doesn't "defy the laws of cold rationality"! It differs from hydrogen sulfide in that, for example, the latter doesn't have hydrogen bonds (except at very low temperatures). It's bonding is also very different from NH3. When writing about rationality, it is best to approach your subject rationally.
Hawaii has a very serious problem in an area where there is a military base. I saw a horrific headline recently on it, toxins leaking fro. Military containers near kids schools, but didn’t read the story. I’m in FL and NC, and both areas have MAJOR problems. (8/2022)
its there. it evaporates with water that goes up into the clouds, then literally rains this crap. they found it in the Arctic. thanks Dupont! hope your billions of dollars was worth poisoning the entire PLANET!
i watched a documentary about this recently. Duponts factory was just dumping it in the river! and tried to cover it up! many men working at the factory died of cancers, and women had children with serious birth defects.
Hold the manufacturers accountable. I'm sure someone is being paid off to overlook, turn a blind eye to this. Pollution in our drinking water is just wrong. High levels fluoride, lead, medication and now pfas. We don't stand a chance if this isn't corrected. There's too much suffering as it is with everything else going on in our country. Change is needed.
Corporations only pay fines. Humans go to jail. The ability to pay off a fine is significantly lower than the ease and profit that very large corporations rack up by doing harm to the environment. The small guy and end customer pays their price ultimately. Always. Corporation ultimate beneficiary owners should be held liable personally for the actions their corporations do, at least when it comes to environmental damage like this that directly affects the food stock for the world's human and animal populations.
Wrong, Freedom, we DO "stand a chance," but it takes a lot of work to eat, drink, and live healthier. However, having a defeatist attitude let's the bad guy's win. Not in my world!
@@donnabaardsen5372 All it requires to fix this nonsense, are instructions from the people delegating their chosen elected officials to clean up this mess. There is a maxim in law that goes like this: The voice of the people is the voice of God.

How many are actively demanding through instructions to their elected officials that a new safety standard be adopted as a matter of emergency? No one. You're all going to protest. Use a tool given to you by the elite, but never write instructions to your delegated officials en-mass.

It’s not America- it’s happening in all locations where these factories exist. I saw another documentary where many Dutch workers are sick with cancer over the same chemical types, even through DuPont told them the environment was safe. And even crazier, they are seeing health affects in the Faroe Islands (Atlantic) because the gulf steam carries those Chemicals and food supply has become contaminated, as they mainly eat fish for their main source of food. You would think fish are supposed to be healthy and clean in remote island villages !? But the Gulf Stream carried those chemicals snd it seems to be the children that are having the most effects.

"They didn't tell the EPA." Oh, the EPA knew. They just looked the other way. Government works in cahoots with the corporations; it's not a government for the people. The people are just the ones that pay the taxes.
A UC Berkeley scientist researched the effects of atrazine in the water supply. He found the chemical has profound impacts on hormones, in his tests with frogs he found it even causes hermaphroditism. The company that sells the pesticide the harassed the scientist, even considered tried to get to his therapist to get dirt. They lobbied the epa so that only they can research atrazine, and all outside research is no longer considered "credible." Great use of our taxpayer dollars epa!

Perhaps I missed something? What did Fred mean at the end when he said, “it happened on my watch. It’ll be gone, that’ll be the end of it.” Is he gonna lose the farm because of the contamination? If so, that’s just wrong! The chemical plant should have to pay him for the harm they have caused. They have the money to, even if they are hiding it…
He meant PFAS destroyed his farm and he will lose it. The farm was his responsibility. Eventhough it wasn't his fault, he was responsible for taking care if it.
Sadly ironic but the yellow jacket the reporter is wearing at 10:55 is most likely made waterproof with the use of PFAs, the stuff is literally everywhere.
"We assume the water to be safe". We assume the food we eat, the air we breathe and the products we put on our skin to be safe too. We assume that the organisations that exist to protect us, put our health before financial gain. We assume these things because we believe what we are led to believe.
It is called being bamboozled.. it sucks, but true. Many gave their rights away back in the 1980’s. (Maybe longer) but I noticed it because I lived a different life. But observed.. Us & them mentality.. 👍🏽 being treated as “black sheep” was a blessing in disguise 🥸 watching the dumbing down of America, then these people have children who were so progressive and cool. (So they thought) let’s be friends with our kids.. yeah! Now the children are disrespectful, mouthy, slap their parents, run the household and they think it’s cute 😊 they now slap up on the police 👮♂️ seen it with my own eyes.. because they are children it is tolerated.. please wake up..
This is why China has more environmental issues than anyone. Corporate industries left the US for China because less red tape. It’s all about profits less about the environment.
I teach at a very small rural private school. In our senior class there are just twelve students. When one girl came down with cancer, we were all shocked. Several months later, a second girl is getting biopsies for cancer...
8:20 ... 1957 - Book -Silent Sprink - PFAS in leeching into texas farmland - contaminating 200 farms ... OK 1997 - "when it started to affect MY drinking water - i started to worry ." ( that is the problem with society - depending on other for info ... "I assumed my water was ok - living 8 miles downstream from a chemical plant - they never told us we were in danger" )
This is just so important for people to know. It’s not even just PFAS we need to worry about. Lots of industries, including our military, are poisoning at drinking water. It is so important that we are always aware and that we test our water. Also, what sort of compensation is the farmer going to have? Because this is unfair for people that are affected.
Their are so dam many chemicals in the environment it's horrifying. I just saw something on micro plastics being found in ice core samples in the arctic and found in all the great lakes. Even the fish tested in the great lakes have micro plastics in their own flesh. Man (globally as a species) really did drop the ball on the environment, I would say starting with the industrial revolution maybe earlier?
The farmer's final statement illustrates how profound our misunderstanding of how environmental problems have to be handled. Farmers are in their essence alone and they view all problems as mine alone to solve. They don't expect help nor do they ask for it (except for ag subsidies but just mentioning that will get you in a fight). But the mentality of the farmer is if you have a problem it's your responsibility to solve it. That outlook makes them tough and resilient but it also prevents them from understanding how problems are collectively solved. It's a different skill set and this farmer, who by no fault of his own, still blames himself for his farm being contaminated by pfas. He knows it's not his fault but he still feels that it is. He just doesn't get that his personal choices had very little to do with this outcome. Or that there isn't a personal choice that could've prevented this outcome. That fact would shock him if he really internalized the ramifications of it. Environmental problems are a class of problems that can only be solved through collective solutions and that runs counter to deeply held American beliefs in the last 50 years probably longer. We just saw how the lack of using collective action played out with COVID because public health problems fall into this collective solutions class of problems. It didn't go well because we've lost this muscle of using collective action to solve these problems.
@@nipples8776 No! I'd be a communist if I said ALL problems must be solved by collective action. I'm NOT saying that. I'm saying NOT ALL problems can be solved by individual choice. Therefore, some problems can be solved by personal choice alone. Market based solutions CAN work in lots of situations, and there's nothing wrong with that. But there does exist some problems that resist solutions using personal choices alone. I'm not sure why the fact that some problems are solved by personal choices, and some problems that are solved by collective action should be that controversial. They really are 2 ways to solve problems and we should use both to solve problems at best align with each methodology.

Based on this, I'm sitting here staring at my water bill - wondering if I should pay it. What's the point, if the water supply is filled with PFAs? . I'd probably be better off investing in a whole lotta food grade buckets to catch the natural rainwater. .
" Others are to blame for PFAS in 'my drinking water' " ... ROUND-UP ( weed killer ) is a pfas - How many times have you used this product around your house? ... but "others are to blame for PFAS leeching into my well water" ???
1/4 of Texas Framlands - destroyed - by 1 company in a week ?? WOW - it only took 65 years for Society to notice the facts given in a 1957 book ... about chemicals in our drinking water ... "Silent Spring"
AGAIN - with the "someone else needs to clean up the mess I made" ... what is WRONG with ( recognizing YOU are part of the problem ) - what's WRONG with you taking responsibility for your actions - What's WRONG with YOU putting in any effort - but ( not buying / using ) cleaning chemicals that conatin PFAS - like TIDE laundry detergent ... or ... dawn dish soap .. or ANY pot / pan made with a "nonstick surface"
I suggest everyone even on tap water.. get 20 inch big blue filters in their houses... Start off with a sediment filters. Then get a KDF filter for heavy metals. Then get a GAC or activated carbon filter.. activated carbon filters do filter out PFAS from the water. On our 14 acres. I installed 4 filters. Sediment. Kdf, ABC carbon and then GAC carbon. I also installed a RODI filter under the sink
When was anything ever brought up t get the attention of a Republicon? They like demorats are bribed by corporate governance to look the other way. Got keep those stocks going up at any cost.

People aren't thinking or paying attention. Welcome white America to water quality issues in Flint, Benton Harbor Michigan and most urban cities in the United States.
I’ve come to understand that a lot of people are ok with making decisions that will likely cause the death of another person as long as 1. They personally benefit 2. It cant easily be tied back to them 3. They don’t have to watch the person die. By the way pretty much every person in government operates with this mentality along with most CEOs and board members.
Impossible to escape, found everywhere, but have to shut down one farmer because of it. Let me guess… all family owned farms are gonna be first targets right?
I was in my local supermarket the other day in the UK And on the shelves are Roundup weed killer thought it was band years ago, Thanks Monsanto Make sure you buy PFAS Free pots and pans.
The obvious is to SHUT DOWN ALL ALL ALL THOSE COMPANIES! omg just do it. Ya see it. Say it. Do it. next all those people, properties, & medical is the responsibility of those companies, Dupont, 3M & any other. Do not waste time in court. Own up to your greed. Do your diligence. Free your conscience. Wheres Erin Brockovich?
This was & is heartbreaking. The old saying of - “for every rat you see there’s 10 you don’t “ - I’m afraid could definitely apply for this situation & this one type of contaminant , that the public now has been aware of ; but it begs the question |?| how many other chemicals are in everything & everywhere? Sadly in the past, in 🇺🇸 anyways, if you speak out or even question anything you’re quickly & easily branded a conspiracy theorist, even by family members. This really is such a difficult time in history, I know I’m not alone in feeling so alone. I do have to say though - I’m impressed that CBS Sunday morning did a story on this because mainstream media especially in the last 3 - 5 years is seemingly in bed with SO many of these big companies. I don’t know if CBS did that because of bravery or the now becoming extinct “journalistic integrity” or some other reason , which I hope is not nefarious. It’s hard to trust any supposed journalism/ “news” stations or reporters anymore.
Why do we not have water catch systems on every roof? Its unlikely they are as prevalent in rainwater as they are in the water treatment or ground water systems. WHY IS THIS CRAP NOT BANNED?
What is most stunning is that these companies only promise to address the problem AFTER getting caught. They're so greedy that had they not been caught, it would still be out of sight, out of mind. Why then are these company people (at DuPont and 3M) not being prosecuted? -- is my question. They had full knowledge of this. Is it "politics" and "money" as usual?
This should get major exposure. How can the government be looking away from such a crisis. Plastic manufacturers as well as companies using plastic packaging should be accountable for the damage.
Earlier in the video the scientist said you can't get rid of them. Then later in the video one of the industrial companies said they built infrastructure that will get rid of ALL of them in the environment. Hmmm... Okay so they can be cleaned up or not? Doesn't make sense.
The sad thing is that no one will ever be accountable for this and most people are so busy with life to even care. As the Cancer will eat up all of the masses all because of Greed.

Water, from its formula weight -18- one would predict it would be a gas at ordinary temperatures & pressures. Ammonia - with a formula weight of 17- is a gas at temperatures as low as minus 33'C. at atmospheric pressure. Hydrogen sulfide,, closely related to water by position in the periodic table & with a formula weight of 34, is a gas at temperatures down to minus 59°C. The fact that water exists as a liquid at all, at ordinary temperatures is something to make one stop and think. Water defys the laws of cold rationality.
But leave it to greedy human idiots to add chemicals destroying our Life source is just mind boggling 😡 No living thing can survive without water, I cannot understand this. All those poor people who have dedicated their lives to farming, their payment is some form of cancer, diseased animals and farmland. This is an absolute outrage, how dare they 💔

But I sleep better knowing that My tax Dollars soon to be taken from all of us at Gunpoint, will be going into the pockets of our Senators and Congressmen's mouths with Fresh, contamination free Food and Water. Doesn't that make you feel Good too?
Water is a very interesting compound, and indeed it should make one stop and think, but it doesn't "defy the laws of cold rationality"! It differs from hydrogen sulfide in that, for example, the latter doesn't have hydrogen bonds (except at very low temperatures). It's bonding is also very different from NH3. When writing about rationality, it is best to approach your subject rationally.

Hold the manufacturers accountable. I'm sure someone is being paid off to overlook, turn a blind eye to this. Pollution in our drinking water is just wrong. High levels fluoride, lead, medication and now pfas. We don't stand a chance if this isn't corrected. There's too much suffering as it is with everything else going on in our country. Change is needed.

Corporations only pay fines. Humans go to jail. The ability to pay off a fine is significantly lower than the ease and profit that very large corporations rack up by doing harm to the environment. The small guy and end customer pays their price ultimately. Always.
Corporation ultimate beneficiary owners should be held liable personally for the actions their corporations do, at least when it comes to environmental damage like this that directly affects the food stock for the world's human and animal populations.

Perhaps I missed something? What did Fred mean at the end when he said, “it happened on my watch. It’ll be gone, that’ll be the end of it.” Is he gonna lose the farm because of the contamination? If so, that’s just wrong! The chemical plant should have to pay him for the harm they have caused. They have the money to, even if they are hiding it…
He meant PFAS destroyed his farm and he will lose it. The farm was his responsibility. Eventhough it wasn't his fault, he was responsible for taking care if it.
If he can't sell any of the farm's production or even use the water, of course he'll lose it.
Sadly ironic but the yellow jacket the reporter is wearing at 10:55 is most likely made waterproof with the use of PFAs, the stuff is literally everywhere.

8:20 ... 1957 - Book -Silent Sprink - PFAS in leeching into texas farmland - contaminating 200 farms ... OK

( that is the problem with society - depending on other for info ... "I assumed my water was ok - living 8 miles downstream from a chemical plant - they never told us we were in danger" )
This is just so important for people to know. It’s not even just PFAS we need to worry about. Lots of industries, including our military, are poisoning at drinking water. It is so important that we are always aware and that we test our water. Also, what sort of compensation is the farmer going to have? Because this is unfair for people that are affected.
Their are so dam many chemicals in the environment it's horrifying. I just saw something on micro plastics being found in ice core samples in the arctic and found in all the great lakes.

The farmer's final statement illustrates how profound our misunderstanding of how environmental problems have to be handled. Farmers are in their essence alone and they view all problems as mine alone to solve. They don't expect help nor do they ask for it (except for ag subsidies but just mentioning that will get you in a fight). But the mentality of the farmer is if you have a problem it's your responsibility to solve it. That outlook makes them tough and resilient but it also prevents them from understanding how problems are collectively solved. It's a different skill set and this farmer, who by no fault of his own, still blames himself for his farm being contaminated by pfas. He knows it's not his fault but he still feels that it is. He just doesn't get that his personal choices had very little to do with this outcome. Or that there isn't a personal choice that could've prevented this outcome. That fact would shock him if he really internalized the ramifications of it. Environmental problems are a class of problems that can only be solved through collective solutions and that runs counter to deeply held American beliefs in the last 50 years probably longer. We just saw how the lack of using collective action played out with COVID because public health problems fall into this collective solutions class of problems. It didn't go well because we've lost this muscle of using collective action to solve these problems.
Communist spotted
@@nipples8776 No! I'd be a communist if I said ALL problems must be solved by collective action. I'm NOT saying that. I'm saying NOT ALL problems can be solved by individual choice. Therefore, some problems can be solved by personal choice alone. Market based solutions CAN work in lots of situations, and there's nothing wrong with that. But there does exist some problems that resist solutions using personal choices alone. I'm not sure why the fact that some problems are solved by personal choices, and some problems that are solved by collective action should be that controversial. They really are 2 ways to solve problems and we should use both to solve problems at best align with each methodology.
