It is so crazy to me that decades ago the same company was fined 800M dollars in fines and they can just do their business here in the Netherlands without consequences.
WhAT A SICK WORLD IS THIS. If this kind of company's just keep on doing this and the goverment will not do anything, than how serious can i take the goverment when it comes to our safety ? Time to get allot of poeple behind bars and fix the system!
Because the fines are laughing stock for these companies. If you have your Vehicle Testing Regulations ( APK ) and you have a ( as they say ) dirty diesel and your emissions are too high you just pay a X amount and you can drive again further. Environment, health, nature etc. isn't important..the cash-cow is important.. All regulations and plans made up by EU and the countries part of it is a big big business with a huge revenue...Its's the new War-machine money..
It is how the Netherlands work. It's just a facade. On the outside it all seems so decent. People and politicians feel so good and proud about their country. But meanwhile...
This proves once again that large companies have the exact same character traits as a psychopath: narcissistic, total lack of empathy, only caring about their image, overt lying without any inhibition, etc.
When a conglomerate says that you're participating in "questionable journalism", you know you're doing it right and spreading the facts out there. Great documentary!
Dutch government needs to indict and sue this company. Senior management needs to be persecuted and jailed. Profits of last decades need to be collected and paid to people that are affected and to clean up the environmental damages. Criminal.

Thank you United States Supreme Court for this just legal structure......what a bunch of idiotsticks they are.......we need legislation that makes the corporation pay the fine, and the executives do the time. Winning campaign slogan right there if one had the personal fortune it takes to win a Senate seat, cuz your donor list is gonna struggle with that slogan, unless you can crowdsource your campaign financing, but only the super pacts can do that, otherwise its illegal......somebody steer me in a direction where we are not F^&*(#!
Dupont should be charged with crimes against humanity. And their board and directors should be given life in prison. American prison, not european ones. They prioritized personal and commercial wealth over the health of the entire world. Its beyond criminal.
There's no chance they'll be convicted in a US court. In the Netherlands there might be a chance (but let's be honest, they'll settle for a few billion instead)
And went completely silent on COVID-19 (As they did at all the interest and fear-mongering surrounding the Mexican flu ten years earlier starring the same people.)
Nobody will go to jail. Things will be settled with maybe a fine. That will be lower then the gained profits. White collar crime is always a win in NL.
@@tripzincluded8087 The politicians were not informed about the internal reports and studies. They deliberately withhold this information from the politicians
Those that are responsible should be stripped of all assets and jailed for life. These fines for multinational corporations when they break the rules do not work.
Fines for multinational corporations can work, but the cost of them for some of the companies involved now is so low that it is not an any way an impressive amount to them, they basically laugh them off as a form of financial collateral damage. These fines need to be so incredibly high that they hurt really, really bad, and might run the risk of a company suffering near bankruptcy immediately. They need to be so incredibly disruptive economically that a company would not even dare to think of breaking the rules, and become the deterrent they should be. If they do, and it's the result of a plant malfunction, ok, that will probably happen but you can then also immediately wonder how there are no containment measures taken to prevent a malfunction reaching ground-surface water levels or sources. Companies that are so big that they rule governments instead of the other way around, deserve to be fined as such, and unfortunately, that's not something we have yet even began doing, nor might we ever.
Its falling in the rain. The Dupont plant in Fayettville NC dumped so much in the Cape Fear River, the foam was visible from space. It floated right over to Europe and into the Mediterranean sea then around CV the world. The churning waves in the ocean put it into sea mist. Than it falls in tain. The most rainy areas are predicted to become more contaminated over time. It gets into foods grown on soils. Lettuce is one vegetable that absorbs PFAS and other toxins at an increased rate. Leafy greens in general are more contaminated than roots and fruits. What you need to do in areas near plants is to start compiling health issues. Government panels dont seem to do a great job with that. They usually have industry representatives on the panels. Genetics cones to play as does other expisures. PFAS carries heave metals to DNA and attaches there. That affects enzyme production. If a person makes lower levels of a certain enzyme or enzymes due to genetics or things like radiation exposure, they will show effects to their enzymes at lower levels of exposure. You may see an entire family experiencing health effects that dont show across the entire population. They dont exist statistically! Certain animals are also more suceptable. Mice and cats are two. Birds also. I had parakeets fall off the perch after frying pans were left on the stove accidentally. Baby boomers are also the first generation with exposure. It mostly hit after birth. The children of baby boomers are the ones with worse health effects due to exposure in utero. ADHD and metabolic syndrome (adult onset diabetes/ obesity/ fatty liver) are two good biomarkers for childhood exposure. Metabolic syndrome is also very indicative of adult exposures.
Unbelievable. When I was a child and lived in the area, I remember a severe fire that spread black soot throughout the entire local area. The local government drove cars through the streets, instructing us to keep our windows and doors closed. But the next day, they also said that it was not harmful to our health. I could hardly believe it.
It is now said that cleaning the pfas contaminated water will be too expensive. Well... let Du Pont / Chemours and their investors pay for it. They caused the damage and cannot walk away like nothing happened.
Het probleem is dat dit soort bedrijven miljarden hieraan verdient terwijl ze weten dat ze er na een paar jaar moet een boete van enkele miljoenen vanaf komen zonder verdere sancties. Je zal geen enkele CEO of hoog geplaatste persoon de bak in zien gaan ook al zijn er zoveel levens verwoest. En de politici zullen er ook wel genoeg aan hebben verdient doormiddel van mandaten/omkoperij.
Ik heb in Rotterdam nabij Barendrecht op school gezeten. Ik herinner me nog dat een (zelf zieke) docent decennia terug zei dat een opvallend hoog aantal docenten een schildklierafwijking had en dat het ver boven het gemiddelde lag. Een groot deel van die docenten woonde in Barendrecht. Ik heb als tiener ook een schildklierautoimmuunziekte gekregen en meerdere leeftijdsgenoten van mij destijds ook (veel Graves). Toen dachten we (afgezien van die ene pientere docent) dat het nu eenmaal iets was wat af en toe kon gebeuren. Inmiddels denk ik er anders over.
Een vriendin van mij was een paar jaar geleden ook gediagnotiseerd met Graves. Opgegroeid in Spijkenisse en later Zuid, Noordereiland en Centrum. De kilo's vlogen er af terwijl ze alleen maar aan het eten was. Ik kan het niet aantonen maar het feit dat de schadelijke gevolgen al zo lang bekend waren? Maar serieus? Moeten wij aantonen dar wij gezond leven of moet de overheid daar zorg voor drgsen? In ieder gevaln duidelijkheid maar of we die gaan hebben?
@@igmoarOp dit moment valt er weinig te bewijzen. Dat komt later wel, als meer mensen zich melden. De ziekte van Graves is in veel gevallen makkelijk te behandelen, maar slaat door de behandeling vaak wel over in juist een traag werkende schildklier. In ieder geval hadden opvallend veel leerlingen uit Barendrecht de ziekte, vaak al met 15 jaar.
Meanwhile, Dordrecht just keeps voting for parties that guarantee companies like this can do whatever they want. People don't seem to understand that this stuff ends your life as you know it. Water companies also can't get it out.
@@Plusser654 GroenLinks has the same amount of seats as vvd in the city government and they want to close Chemours. But I don't know if that's actually possible or just a way to get votes
I was born and raised close to the factory. Lived there during the 70's. 80's and 90's. My parents and my sister all died from cancer during those years. Coincidence?! Everyone involved at Dupont during those years and knew... you should be deeply ashamed and I hope you'll never catch another night of peaceful sleep.
Here to corroborate this downstream. Pets dying of cancer left and right, family.. Friends.. I always felt like people were just dropping dead around me. Finding out that that was actually what was happening...
And the most baffling is, that it was known by Dupont and 3M around 60+ years ago that it was highly toxic for people and animals!!! It's just infuriating to see that those companies are still around!! The people that knew should be put on public trail and given a dose of PFAS, like they did with the monkeys!!
Yup! They were even “studying” the effects these chemicals had on the fetuses of pregnant woman working in their factories, without their knowledge or consent, of course.
Dupont's callous deception about PFAS is a slap in the face of humanity. Their blatant disregard for public health is nothing less than a crime. If serious actions aren't taken, this will be our grim, unchanging reality. Real penalties, like lifetime prison sentences, are a must. Outrageous! 😠
All these sites need a LARGE water flow in and a way to get rid of it again. That's why they are next to a river site. Close to water flow. If they are not they would need a large water basin to hold the dirty water. But they don't want it near or on site cause it's so toxic.
I think that the PFAS sstuff went to Chemours. IFF is a different branch, they do artificial fragrances and flavors. Still chemical, but very different chemistry,
The site in Bruges produces enzymes, for food, beer, washing powder etc, its locally known as the yeast factory. Nothing to do with PFAS at all so get your facts first before spreading more fear. In Belgium 3M in Zwijndrecht and Indaver in Antwerp are the known PFAS polluters.
26:11 Wat ik ook zo bizar vindt is dat, nu nog steeds, iedereen het altijd heeft over "we hebben arbeidskrachten nodig". Alsof er een absoluut dringende behoefte is aan die producten (in dit geval PFAS). Er was ook een wereld vóór dat we PFAS gebruikten, dus absoluut noodzakelijk is het niet. Hetzelfde zie je nu eigenlijk ook. Er wordt keihard geschreeuwd en nagepraat "we hebben arbeidsmigranten nodig" (voor werken in de kassen, voor werken als software engineers, etc etc). Maar we staan niet stil met de vraag is dat nou echt zo? Hebben we die echt nodig? Is het echt zo belangrijk dat de economie maar blijft groeien? Of is het niet beter als we gewoon een stapje terug doen? Ja dat betekent minder geld en minder consumeren (alhoewel ik me dat nog afvraag aangezien minder arbeiders=meer loon). Maar ook minder mensen en dus meer ruimte, meer rust, minder auto's, minder lawaai, minder uitstoot en minder stress.
Ik denk dat heel veel kleine en grote wantoestanden ontstaan en in stand gehouden worden door een menselijk oer-trauma. "Er is iets niet goed met mij / met de wereld." Daaruit ontstaan individuele en collectieve overlevingsstrategieën, ook coping-mechanisms genoemd. Daarom dat mensen door de eeuwen heen zo gehapt hebben op religies, want ze beloofden een betere wereld. Religieuze en politieke leiders spelen daarop in, soms willens en wetens, soms onbewust. Voor hen zijn het ook coping-mechanisms, en in hun optiek bedoelen ze het goed. Het succes van kapitalisme / materialisme is dus een logisch gevolg. Zelfs een klein gemak, zoals het niet meer aanbakken van je pan, wordt breed omarmd en makkelijk gekocht. En daarom is het ook zo moeilijk mensen (inclusief mezelf) los te weken van kortetermijndenken, want je neemt daarmee hun overlevingsstrategieën weg, en dat wordt al te makkelijk - hoe subtiel dan ook - ervaren als levensbedreigend. Veel aangedragen oplossingen zijn in feite nieuwe coping mechanisms, zoals bijvoorbeeld het geloof in elektrische auto's. Einstein zei: “Je kunt een probleem niet oplossen met de denkwijze die het probleem heeft veroorzaakt.” Ik wil daarmee niet alle tijdelijke oplossingen van tafel vegen, maar wel uitnodigen om op een diepere laag te kijken.
@@MrNoodlot klopt, maar de kern van het verhaal is hetzelfde. Chemours is nog niet gesloten door de overheid. Blijkbaar is het belang van banen (en dus geld) groter dan de gezondheid.
This is a prime example of why we should NOT have smaller governments and give way to corporate enterprises to do as they please. Corporate industry will always(!) put profit and self preservation before society's interests. We need a bottom up democracy not a top down corporate 'democracy'.
Today I finished required training for my job for a DNO in which this documentary was mentioned. I was about to search for it but found the YT algorithm had actually suggested it today! I am not surprised about this corporate attitude, we've already seen this time and again (e.g. hexavalent chrome, tobacco, asbestos, hydrogenated oils, etc). and I am waiting for the next scandal.
De opmerking van de vrouw is best tekenend: ze verwachtte dat de overheid haar wel beschermde. Het is aan een kant mooi dat we ooit een overheid hebben gehad die dit vertrouwen heeft weten op te bouwen, maar er leven erg veel mensen in Nederland met volle vertrouwen dat "alles wel goed zal zijn". Het is niet leuk om in onzekerheid te leven, maar ook in dit relatief veilige land moet je gewoon op je hoede blijven. Als je teveel vertrouwd wordt het vroeg of laat misbruikt.
I did a research study at Dupont. Management is specifically instructed not too talk about it, downplay it and actively digress the topic. It has been known for decades that people who worked there, and the small working-class suburb next to it, have drastically lowered life expectations. It's common to die just after retirement age. Imagine working for Dupont your whole life and your reward being a chronic and/or terminal illness. Everyone working there has to sign a non-disclosure agreement. Dupont also knows about it from their own measurements, they track all of that. So there are many explanations as to how they've managed to cover it up for so long.
we have random inspections, unions supposedly watching over workers, laws against putting workers in danger and somehow no one's sus senses went off after they forbade fertile women from working the lines
Dank Zembla. Behoorlijk shockerend dit. Laat de verantwoordelijken maar een PFAS verontreinigd dieet opgedwongen krijgen als het volgens hen niet gevaarlijk is.
Wow, these companies are just evil. It seems very obvious that there is malicious intent, how come the leadership is not serving life in prison by now?

The river Merwede becomes the Oude Maas, after a few km. And de oude Maas feeds the Brielse Maas, where a lot of people recreate. From the Oude Maas water also flows to het Spui into het Haringvliet. Another place with a lot of recreation. All the beaches, every place where people swim should be investigated. Hoek van Holland and Oostvoorne too. I spend my whole childhood in the Brielse Maas. Sailing and swimming. Every summer. I know a lot of people overthere get ill. Lots of cancer and auto-immune disease. I'm ill myself.
Gov't agencies can shut down ANYTHING overnight...and yet 3M and Dupont continue to profit in business. Overnight! But not companies that manufacture and produce PFAS. Well, money is power, eh?
Even that doesn't matter. The CEO's responsible are privately filthy rich and that money will not be taken from them. They don't care if the company goes bust. They can continue in other companies. Only jail sentences can really change things. But that won't happen.

I was raised in NJ. My grandmother worked at DuPont. I remember she gave me a white leather wallet stamped in gold with “DuPont”.I think it was her employee present for however many years. It’s a world in which I don’t know what to eat, what to drink, where to swim. My husband has chronic leukemia. Im disgusted with humans and the corporations that kill us. If we want to have an impact at all, embracing a non consumerism way of life is the only way to kill corporations. #killcorporationsthroughanticonsumerism
No the best way would be to enact an similar law like the RICO law but for corporations, arrest all the managers and higherups who could've known. Start a huge lawsuit against all of them, many of them would fold and say they heard it from the boss and ask them to testify, then you'll have the majority of the company higher ups trying to save themselves and sue DuPont with state backing.
If you're disgusted by humans then you're not part of the solution but part of the problem. This shit is no excuse for misanthropic ideas and misanthropes (especially among environmentalists) are just as much as a cancer of society as these PFAS-dumping crooks!
Dupont's lies about PFAS since the 60s are just sickening. They don't care about our health. If nobody gets locked up for good, nothing will change. It's a damn disgrace! 😡
How and why were they* (*Du Pont and 3M) permitted to self investigate/scrutinise? It's beyond shocking and ludicrous that the laboratory findings, as issued by them*, were accepted and never questioned by the relevant governments!!! Indeed, "the love of money is the root of all evil" (Timothy 6:10)
Zembla is a prominent, reliable and independent media source (TV program producer)) addressing critical issues that have a serious negative effect on society (health, safety, security, justice, environment etc.). I have seen the Cover-up documentary on PFAS pollution by Chemours (Dupont) industry in Dordrecht and hearing of Directors by the Parliamentary Commission. The Directors of Chemours show no regret at all, don't feel liable and stick to the harmless levels of pollutants from PFAS and other hazardous waste that they emit in the air and discharge in the water and soil. Chemours does not take social corporate responsibility for serious at all, did not inform the people early onwards (from the late 60's) and is reluctant to share data, reports etc. timely and beforehand with authorities and community based organisations. This is a scandal and will become even bigger in the years to come. I regret to say that the Parliamentary Commission could have been more pronounced and articulated in forwarding the hearing questions.

Why do people assume that such big businesses have to act ethical? Those businesses are so big and influencial that they don't want to risk bankrupcy or huge Liabilities so they chose to cover up and clean up the mess. In mine opinion you can't trust any of business of such influencial economical power. No business will risk their legacy for bankrupcy. They are way to deep to open up. My point is, you can never trust companies with huge economical and political power to be honest or ethical.
Werkelijk waar heel erg schokkend dat dit aan de hand is, misschien nog erger dat we een overheid hebben die hier helemaal niks aan doet en de aandeelhouders van dit soort bedrijven gewoon in de kaart blijft spelen. Eigenlijk niet zo verwonderlijk want veel van onze politici verdwijnen na hun politieke carrière in de besturen/directies van deze bedrijven om zo ook zelf een graantje te kunnen meepikken van de enorme winsten die deze bedrijven maken....walgelijk 😞
I used to work for a company that produced Teflon tubing with chemicals from DuPont/Chemours. I'm sure I've got exposed to some fucked up shit, sometimes people would get what they called the 'Teflon fever'. You would feel so cold even if you were like packed in clothes and under a blanket, after a few hours of sleep you would feel normal again. It would happen after the chemicals had been heated and you would breathe in the fumes. Or when someone had a microscopic part of the powder on his hands and it ended up on his cigarette and smoked it. And I've talked and worked with people that had also worked in the plant in Dordrecht and I've heard so many stories about sick workers there.
Wat gaat er nu met die bedrijven gebeuren? Het lijkt me dat er een overvloed aan bewijs is om het bedrijf te ontbinden en de mensen die de waarheid hebben verzwogen een flinke gevangenis straf op te leggen.

I think that the liability of what is now Chemours should also be carried by what is now Dupont, if you see how this was done. Actually, let them both pay the full amount. Dupont selling off Chemours to get rid of liability is another criminal construct.
God have mercy on our souls. I'm not religious but this the only response I can think of. I've been using Teflon pans for cooking my entire life until around 2 years ago, and I'm only now being informed about this shit through this underrated documentary while this information should have been common knowledge at least 40 years ago. I almost feel like we deserve this. Politicians must have known about this for a long long time and have kept their mouth shut, so we're doomed no matter how you look at it. It's almost poetic in a messed up way
It's made me realise it's all been done on purpose. If it suppresses our immune systems and lowers fertility, then its all about control and depopulation

Dupont should be charged with crimes against humanity. And their board and directors should be given life in prison. American prison, not european ones.
They prioritized personal and commercial wealth over the health of the entire world. Its beyond criminal.
There's no chance they'll be convicted in a US court. In the Netherlands there might be a chance (but let's be honest, they'll settle for a few billion instead)
How about a good old death sentence induced by the people they harmed.
They wont even get a day in prison. Dutch judicial system is a joke.

Should hold them liable asap.
Those that are responsible should be stripped of all assets and jailed for life. These fines for multinational corporations when they break the rules do not work.
zou moeten ja maar droom maar lekker verder 😭
Fines for multinational corporations can work, but the cost of them for some of the companies involved now is so low that it is not an any way an impressive amount to them, they basically laugh them off as a form of financial collateral damage.
These fines need to be so incredibly high that they hurt really, really bad, and might run the risk of a company suffering near bankruptcy immediately.
They need to be so incredibly disruptive economically that a company would not even dare to think of breaking the rules, and become the deterrent they should be.
If they do, and it's the result of a plant malfunction, ok, that will probably happen but you can then also immediately wonder how there are no containment measures taken to prevent a malfunction reaching ground-surface water levels or sources.
Companies that are so big that they rule governments instead of the other way around, deserve to be fined as such, and unfortunately, that's not something we have yet even began doing, nor might we ever.

Its falling in the rain. The Dupont plant in Fayettville NC dumped so much in the Cape Fear River, the foam was visible from space. It floated right over to Europe and into the Mediterranean sea then around CV the world. The churning waves in the ocean put it into sea mist. Than it falls in tain. The most rainy areas are predicted to become more contaminated over time. It gets into foods grown on soils. Lettuce is one vegetable that absorbs PFAS and other toxins at an increased rate. Leafy greens in general are more contaminated than roots and fruits. What you need to do in areas near plants is to start compiling health issues. Government panels dont seem to do a great job with that. They usually have industry representatives on the panels. Genetics cones to play as does other expisures. PFAS carries heave metals to DNA and attaches there. That affects enzyme production.
If a person makes lower levels of a certain enzyme or enzymes due to genetics or things like radiation exposure, they will show effects to their enzymes at lower levels of exposure. You may see an entire family experiencing health effects that dont show across the entire population. They dont exist statistically! Certain animals are also more suceptable. Mice and cats are two. Birds also. I had parakeets fall off the perch after frying pans were left on the stove accidentally. Baby boomers are also the first generation with exposure. It mostly hit after birth. The children of baby boomers are the ones with worse health effects due to exposure in utero. ADHD and metabolic syndrome (adult onset diabetes/ obesity/ fatty liver) are two good biomarkers for childhood exposure. Metabolic syndrome is also very indicative of adult exposures.
Unbelievable. When I was a child and lived in the area, I remember a severe fire that spread black soot throughout the entire local area. The local government drove cars through the streets, instructing us to keep our windows and doors closed. But the next day, they also said that it was not harmful to our health. I could hardly believe it.

Ik heb in Rotterdam nabij Barendrecht op school gezeten. Ik herinner me nog dat een (zelf zieke) docent decennia terug zei dat een opvallend hoog aantal docenten een schildklierafwijking had en dat het ver boven het gemiddelde lag. Een groot deel van die docenten woonde in Barendrecht. Ik heb als tiener ook een schildklierautoimmuunziekte gekregen en meerdere leeftijdsgenoten van mij destijds ook (veel Graves). Toen dachten we (afgezien van die ene pientere docent) dat het nu eenmaal iets was wat af en toe kon gebeuren. Inmiddels denk ik er anders over.
Heb je ook een rechtzaak aangespannen?
Wat was er specifiek in Rotterdam het gevaar? De lucht of drinkwater of zwemmen op een bepaalde plek?
Een vriendin van mij was een paar jaar geleden ook gediagnotiseerd met Graves. Opgegroeid in Spijkenisse en later Zuid, Noordereiland en Centrum. De kilo's vlogen er af terwijl ze alleen maar aan het eten was. Ik kan het niet aantonen maar het feit dat de schadelijke gevolgen al zo lang bekend waren? Maar serieus? Moeten wij aantonen dar wij gezond leven of moet de overheid daar zorg voor drgsen? In ieder gevaln duidelijkheid maar of we die gaan hebben?
@@igmoarOp dit moment valt er weinig te bewijzen. Dat komt later wel, als meer mensen zich melden. De ziekte van Graves is in veel gevallen makkelijk te behandelen, maar slaat door de behandeling vaak wel over in juist een traag werkende schildklier. In ieder geval hadden opvallend veel leerlingen uit Barendrecht de ziekte, vaak al met 15 jaar.

I was born and raised close to the factory. Lived there during the 70's. 80's and 90's. My parents and my sister all died from cancer during those years. Coincidence?!
Everyone involved at Dupont during those years and knew... you should be deeply ashamed and I hope you'll never catch another night of peaceful sleep.
Here to corroborate this downstream. Pets dying of cancer left and right, family.. Friends.. I always felt like people were just dropping dead around me. Finding out that that was actually what was happening...
This is amazing. Share this everywhere. The whole world needs to know about PFAS.
Yes! I told my coworkers about Teflon pans and they didn’t believe me.!! PFAS are everywhere and everyone’s blood.
And the most baffling is, that it was known by Dupont and 3M around 60+ years ago that it was highly toxic for people and animals!!! It's just infuriating to see that those companies are still around!!
The people that knew should be put on public trail and given a dose of PFAS, like they did with the monkeys!!
And we are still allowing other PFAS in nonstick pans, appliances and food packaging.
@@AaronFigFrontI think it's mire the byproducts of production than the products they produce
@@norml.hugh-mannpfas isn't a byproduct, it's the input material for manufacturing and sometimes additive to end products.
Yup! They were even “studying” the effects these chemicals had on the fetuses of pregnant woman working in their factories, without their knowledge or consent, of course.
Corruption is the real crime here against humanity.
Dupont's callous deception about PFAS is a slap in the face of humanity. Their blatant disregard for public health is nothing less than a crime. If serious actions aren't taken, this will be our grim, unchanging reality. Real penalties, like lifetime prison sentences, are a must. Outrageous! 😠
And this is yet another shocking situation that proves that big companies and our government can't be trusted.
In Bruges we have a huge Dupont site aswell next to the water. They changed their name to genencor years ago, meanwhile it's now called IFF.
They should call it PFAS
All these sites need a LARGE water flow in and a way to get rid of it again. That's why they are next to a river site. Close to water flow. If they are not they would need a large water basin to hold the dirty water. But they don't want it near or on site cause it's so toxic.
I think that the PFAS sstuff went to Chemours. IFF is a different branch, they do artificial fragrances and flavors. Still chemical, but very different chemistry,
@@pizzablendercorrect
The site in Bruges produces enzymes, for food, beer, washing powder etc, its locally known as the yeast factory. Nothing to do with PFAS at all so get your facts first before spreading more fear.
In Belgium 3M in Zwijndrecht and Indaver in Antwerp are the known PFAS polluters.
26:11 Wat ik ook zo bizar vindt is dat, nu nog steeds, iedereen het altijd heeft over "we hebben arbeidskrachten nodig". Alsof er een absoluut dringende behoefte is aan die producten (in dit geval PFAS). Er was ook een wereld vóór dat we PFAS gebruikten, dus absoluut noodzakelijk is het niet. Hetzelfde zie je nu eigenlijk ook. Er wordt keihard geschreeuwd en nagepraat "we hebben arbeidsmigranten nodig" (voor werken in de kassen, voor werken als software engineers, etc etc). Maar we staan niet stil met de vraag is dat nou echt zo? Hebben we die echt nodig? Is het echt zo belangrijk dat de economie maar blijft groeien? Of is het niet beter als we gewoon een stapje terug doen? Ja dat betekent minder geld en minder consumeren (alhoewel ik me dat nog afvraag aangezien minder arbeiders=meer loon). Maar ook minder mensen en dus meer ruimte, meer rust, minder auto's, minder lawaai, minder uitstoot en minder stress.
Ik denk dat heel veel kleine en grote wantoestanden ontstaan en in stand gehouden worden door een menselijk oer-trauma. "Er is iets niet goed met mij / met de wereld." Daaruit ontstaan individuele en collectieve overlevingsstrategieën, ook coping-mechanisms genoemd. Daarom dat mensen door de eeuwen heen zo gehapt hebben op religies, want ze beloofden een betere wereld. Religieuze en politieke leiders spelen daarop in, soms willens en wetens, soms onbewust. Voor hen zijn het ook coping-mechanisms, en in hun optiek bedoelen ze het goed. Het succes van kapitalisme / materialisme is dus een logisch gevolg. Zelfs een klein gemak, zoals het niet meer aanbakken van je pan, wordt breed omarmd en makkelijk gekocht. En daarom is het ook zo moeilijk mensen (inclusief mezelf) los te weken van kortetermijndenken, want je neemt daarmee hun overlevingsstrategieën weg, en dat wordt al te makkelijk - hoe subtiel dan ook - ervaren als levensbedreigend. Veel aangedragen oplossingen zijn in feite nieuwe coping mechanisms, zoals bijvoorbeeld het geloof in elektrische auto's. Einstein zei: “Je kunt een probleem niet oplossen met de denkwijze die het probleem heeft veroorzaakt.” Ik wil daarmee niet alle tijdelijke oplossingen van tafel vegen, maar wel uitnodigen om op een diepere laag te kijken.

De opmerking van de vrouw is best tekenend: ze verwachtte dat de overheid haar wel beschermde. Het is aan een kant mooi dat we ooit een overheid hebben gehad die dit vertrouwen heeft weten op te bouwen, maar er leven erg veel mensen in Nederland met volle vertrouwen dat "alles wel goed zal zijn". Het is niet leuk om in onzekerheid te leven, maar ook in dit relatief veilige land moet je gewoon op je hoede blijven. Als je teveel vertrouwd wordt het vroeg of laat misbruikt.
Unfortunately you are all to right
I did a research study at Dupont. Management is specifically instructed not too talk about it, downplay it and actively digress the topic.
It has been known for decades that people who worked there, and the small working-class suburb next to it, have drastically lowered life expectations. It's common to die just after retirement age. Imagine working for Dupont your whole life and your reward being a chronic and/or terminal illness.
Everyone working there has to sign a non-disclosure agreement. Dupont also knows about it from their own measurements, they track all of that. So there are many explanations as to how they've managed to cover it up for so long.
we have random inspections, unions supposedly watching over workers, laws against putting workers in danger and somehow no one's sus senses went off after they forbade fertile women from working the lines
I can't understand stuff what I'm trying to get stuff done and it's in a different language. Sorry.
Dank Zembla. Behoorlijk shockerend dit. Laat de verantwoordelijken maar een PFAS verontreinigd dieet opgedwongen krijgen als het volgens hen niet gevaarlijk is.

No the best way would be to enact an similar law like the RICO law but for corporations, arrest all the managers and higherups who could've known. Start a huge lawsuit against all of them, many of them would fold and say they heard it from the boss and ask them to testify, then you'll have the majority of the company higher ups trying to save themselves and sue DuPont with state backing.
If you're disgusted by humans then you're not part of the solution but part of the problem. This shit is no excuse for misanthropic ideas and misanthropes (especially among environmentalists) are just as much as a cancer of society as these PFAS-dumping crooks!

Zembla is a prominent, reliable and independent media source (TV program producer)) addressing critical issues that have a serious negative effect on society (health, safety, security, justice, environment etc.). I have seen the Cover-up documentary on PFAS pollution by Chemours (Dupont) industry in Dordrecht and hearing of Directors by the Parliamentary Commission. The Directors of Chemours show no regret at all, don't feel liable and stick to the harmless levels of pollutants from PFAS and other hazardous waste that they emit in the air and discharge in the water and soil. Chemours does not take social corporate responsibility for serious at all, did not inform the people early onwards (from the late 60's) and is reluctant to share data, reports etc. timely and beforehand with authorities and community based organisations. This is a scandal and will become even bigger in the years to come.
I regret to say that the Parliamentary Commission could have been more pronounced and articulated in forwarding the hearing questions.

I used to work for a company that produced Teflon tubing with chemicals from DuPont/Chemours. I'm sure I've got exposed to some fucked up shit, sometimes people would get what they called the 'Teflon fever'. You would feel so cold even if you were like packed in clothes and under a blanket, after a few hours of sleep you would feel normal again. It would happen after the chemicals had been heated and you would breathe in the fumes. Or when someone had a microscopic part of the powder on his hands and it ended up on his cigarette and smoked it. And I've talked and worked with people that had also worked in the plant in Dordrecht and I've heard so many stories about sick workers there.

The way of the world. Or they are the SAME corporation, but change their name in hopes of hiding their corrupt identity.
Gotta rewrite the law.

God have mercy on our souls. I'm not religious but this the only response I can think of. I've been using Teflon pans for cooking my entire life until around 2 years ago, and I'm only now being informed about this shit through this underrated documentary while this information should have been common knowledge at least 40 years ago. I almost feel like we deserve this. Politicians must have known about this for a long long time and have kept their mouth shut, so we're doomed no matter how you look at it. It's almost poetic in a messed up way
It's made me realise it's all been done on purpose. If it suppresses our immune systems and lowers fertility, then its all about control and depopulation
Zembla, jullie zijn helden!!!
who would have thought a 100 years of the profit motif being the most important thing in society would lead to companies only caring about profit, i'm shocked :o
Keep these coming !!!!
Dupont started making teflon in 1939.
Vroeger zeiden ze het al: hoe dichter bij Dordt; des te rotter het wordt.
Dat voegt echt wat toe! Super Wim, alleen al vanwege je originaliteit.
De zee mag de hele Randstad wat mij betreft hebben.

I aM less than 10 miles from the DuPont plant in WV right now visiting family. They definitely chose this region intentionally.
It's time to do something about this, about Dupont and M3....get them!
