"It's really concerning that we are intentionally putting chemicals that release a carcinogen into our products that we apply to ourselves every day," said lead author Robin Dodson...

i consider myself one of "they" in that i sprayed these chemicals by the hundreds to thousands of gallons at a time around the planet for my 27 year career. so did every other of the hundreds of thousands of other firefighters like me since the mid '70s.

Drawing on years of on-the-ground reporting & tens of thousands of documents, Mariah Blake interweaves the history of forever chemicals with the moving story of how a lone village took on the chemical giants—and won.

Please meet one of my ride or dies, @arff6312 ~
While the cancer club knew AFFF was toxic, that never made it to the fleet.
Here is a photo of @arff6312 enjoying the insidious rite of passage for Americas Bravest.

@Di_Cotter@SecKennedy@DrJBhattacharya@CaseyMeansMD consider this my digital autograph! my last day at Sembach Air Base in July '84. Roy Giesenschlag has the honors of tossing a bucket of concentrated 3M 6% AFFF on me.

The following letters along with a 200-page document outlining the ten year saga of the largest intentional occupational poisoning known to mankind; that of firefighters saturated in the known carcinogen PFOA by required use of their structural firefighting turnout gear, and due to the startling fact there has been no federal or state investigation to date on this great deception, has led me to the extraordinary final attempt to secure an Executive Order for the 1.2 million firefighters who have worn gear made to protect them ~ but could only harm them.

I’m praying you mean this.
Proceed directly to Tab 2025. This new discovery is not publicly known, confirmed by @grok and if my findings are confirmed by you it far surpasses the firefighter serial killer @RobertKennedyJr speaks of in our interview :
She recounted a “stunning” moment when she shared her husband’s prostate cancer diagnosis with a group of firefighters’ wives making braids for the 20-year anniversary of the “Worcester 6” (six firefighters lost in a fire on Dec. 3, 1999). “Every woman at my table lifted her head to say, ‘Mine, too.’”
‘I literally battled the head of a powerful union’
Cotter told Kennedy about the many obstacles she faced in her quest to uncover the truth about PFAS in firefighting gear. She struggled to find answers from industry representatives, institutions and even her husband’s firefighters union.
“I literally battled the head of a powerful union who was quite captured by the perks and incentives in the advertising of the parties,” she said.
Undeterred, Cotter collaborated with scientists like nuclear physicist Graham Peaslee, Ph.D., at the University of Notre Dame and organizations such as the Last Call Foundation to fund and conduct studies on the chemicals used in turnout gear.

WOAH. A new review in @washingtonpost calls They Poisoned the World “riveting ,” a “deft chronicle of one of the greatest moral scandals of our time,” and “a book that none of us can afford to miss.” I'm beside myself...

This is vandalism - pure eco vandalism.
Farmers lives are being destroyed for this junk. Future land fill. Imported. Plastic wrapped.
This needs to be stopped. And fast
@CPRE and what will you do in about ten years when they need to be replaced? they have a short lifespan and considering the investment not cost-effective. not one person ive spoken with would consider re-investing. but...you wont know until you experience it for yourselves. good luck!

A documentary and interview series covering the information needed to understand where we are today. The full-length film came out on January 15, 2022.
EU member states back phase out of PFAS in firefighting foam. Meanwhile, in the UK, the Health & Safety Executive misses deadline to even produce a risk assessment on exposing firefighters who risk their lives to protect us to health harming chemicals.
