PFAS Chemicals: The Bad News, The Worse News, Then Perhaps Some Hope.

The story of PFAS chemicals and their effects is disturbing, on many levels. Like so many “helpful” things that turn out to be evil, PFAS chemicals are now apparently the bane of our existence. In the past, smoking was thought to be healthy, until it wasn’t. Chloroform was the constituent of many medicines, until it was found to be deadly. Children once played with liquid mercury. Now, if a single drop of that element escapes a broken thermometer, it is a cause for alarm. It is the same for PFAS chemicals.
