From Michigan here, everywhere I fish they have signs saying I can’t eat fish because of high leveles of pfas, I would really appreciate a follow up on this, this is really relevant to my life and hobby’s.
Sadly authorities now say that no level of pfas is safe. So if you fish for fun, catch and throw them back. Sadly the corporations have poisoned all of our beautiful Michigan Lakes. And the Supreme Court just reduced the power of the already weak EPA
Hello, look up Michigan history fire retardant documentary by BBC where the states cattle was poisoned by DOW chemical putting fire retardant in feed, those cattle were fed to humans and other farm animals resulting in a mass killing buried in kalkaska AFTER they told farmers to just dispose of them on property. Upwards of 200 ppt of pfas was passed from mother to child from breastfeeding! So in a population ALREADY deeply poisoned perhaps the exposure safety levels should be adjusted????
We're so blessed with all this fresh water that the world envies in these drought times How dare we take advantage of this world wonder Clean this crap up!
In Illinois, we have what is called "creeping charlie" it has deep roots, I put at my mom's former camp at the end of Shelter Bay road and I believe it is still holding the land. It ought to be looked at and see what it does.
Hello! My law school's law review journal is preparing to publish a piece that cites to this documentary. Is there any possibility we could obtain a transcript of this piece to annotate it? We are looking forward to having this documentary cited in our journal!
Well we HAD MOSIER LEATHER HERE IN New Albany ,Indiana ,there is a " pond" where they dumped there stuff ,said was cleaned up ,the nick name for the dump is blood pond ,my God you ought to seen the frogs and fish that came out of there ,now they call the area the ( green way)
a friend bought a expensive house on the rogue river near belmont, quietly moved to texas shortly after claiming "dislike of cold" -more like dislike of toxic water
So if I throw out scotch guard treated products I am contributing to the problem? This stuff is still being made isn't it ? I bet it is being dumped into a Chinese or third world river as you read this. ......
I live in Belmont (which is located in Plainfield Township). Plainfield Township is CONSTANTLY squandering money on bike trails, parks, and a myriad of other unnecessary expenditures year after year. They’d have plenty of money to kick-in a few coins for contamination clean-up if they weren’t spending so much time looking for ways to use up all our excess tax money. SMH
@@Rayman-cd8bd Good point, the Hush Puppy factory should upturned liable, however the oversight - or lack thereof, in this case - makes the Township equally culpable
@@jibblesq all over michigan because we had so much manufacturing here and those companies just dumped their garbage and ruined our beautiful lakes. you used to be able to see to the bottom of every lake back in the 50s
This information wasn’t available. These dumps were illegal. The DEQ told them to throw dirt on it…problem solved. Not enough people even knew about PFOS back then to inform anyone. They didn’t test for this.

It's annoying. The only time I really fish is when the steelies are running and this garbage ruined that.
You likely won't ever be able to safely eat fish from those bodies of water again. At least not in your lifetime.

What about about the animals that are exposed to PFAs they don’t seem to have any significant damage

It’s so expensive and difficult to filter out of the environment that cleaning it up right now is impossible to do.

You can almost guarantee that, companies have money money than other countries. With that said they hold more power and there is no regulation.
Years later it is still being manufactured. You can still buy bottles of Scotchgard aerosol spray at the store.

So the tax payers should pay to clean it up, not the corporations?

And poor baby , this isn't right
The people crack me up doint you do research before you buy a house?
How could the public know all the possible contaminents, the inspectors didn't know or didn't tell.
There's really nowhere in S. E. Michigan you can go where this shit isn't.
