@MariahCBlake Menstrual cups ≠ period underwear. They’re made of medical-grade silicone and haven’t been shown to contain PFAS. Your headline is misleading, a copy and paste of @NBCNews ? The text doesn’t even mention cups. These headlines create confusion where clarity is critical.

[Exist Green @Exist_Green]

@NBCNews just watched your report on PFAS in reusable menstrual products. Please clarify that menstrual cups are silicone-based and do not contain #pfas. The story focused on #periodunderwear, not cups. Reusable organic cotton pads & cups remain solid PFAS-free options.

Lastly! To be fair we are about 70% solar powered and the rest of our electrical use is offset with carbon credits. Just want to be as accurate as possible :)

2) We used to carry laundry detergent (not dryer) sheets which contain polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) as a matrix. Recent studies suggest PVA is not treated in our wastewater treatment plants so is considered a micro plastic in the environment, and was removed from our shelves

Grab one of these infinitely reusable terracotta foot scrubbers (or body exfoliaters!) for the one you love 💕 - that person can be you by the way 😉 @ Exist Green https://t.co/recouBhd1E

Yes - makes sense.

Despite this, and as a result of new research, some are calling for tighter restrictions on PFAS 👀

And there are calls for this to be paid for by the industries producing and using these chemicals.

[Euronews Earth @euronewsgreen]

Per- and poly-fluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are a large family of human-made chemicals that don’t occur in nature.

They are known as ‘forever chemicals’ because they don’t break down in the environment ❌

[Euronews Earth @euronewsgreen]

Rainwater almost everywhere on Earth has unsafe levels of ‘forever chemicals’, according to new research.

How has this happened and what’s the fallout? 🧵

Check out this illustrative educational material on #PFAS aka the “forever chemicals” because of their persistence in the environment and potential harm at extremely low concentrations.

@EPA released a new set of advisories for PFAS today. Here’s the beginning of a multi-part visual essay that I’m working on about the impact of PFAS… 🧵1/10 #pfas #visualessay #graphicmedicine #nonfictionillustration
