the EPA announced they're rolling back regulations on forever chemicals today. the crew behind veritasium timed the release of this video so perfectly that i can't help but wonder if they held it in the backlog waiting for this admin's EPA to do some dumb shit.

It would make a lot of sense for them to do that. Just by the standards of their videos, you can tell there's a lot of brilliant people working on them.

Firefighters get exposed to a lot of PFAS from the fire suppressant foam. Firefighters who donated blood regularly had lower levels of blood-PFAS than non-donors. Donating blood might be one current option to reduce your PFAS levels.

[–] misterdoctor@lemmy.world 10 points 7 months ago (2 children)

Pardon my ignorance, but if your blood has high levels of PFAS, wouldn’t you then be donating contaminated blood?

[–] mrcleanup@lemmy.world 9 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Yes. But when you need a transfusion to live it's still a good deal for you. Besides, you can always just donate blood later to bring your levels back down.

Sorry doctor, I only accept free rage, organic, pfas free blood transfusions.

[–] dumblederp@aussie.zone 2 points 7 months ago

Maybe, I'm ignorant of the answer to that. I think they often separate blood so maybe it gets filtered.

[–] jol@discuss.tchncs.de 7 points 7 months ago (2 children)

So what you're saying is the cure is... Blood letting?

Lol. Sounds like some RFK nonsense when you put it like that.

[–] Waterdoc@lemmy.ca 4 points 7 months ago

It's the foams specifically for fighting fuel fires that are made from PFAS. Unfortunately, their safety gear also is loaded with PFAS.
