(Natural News) Several studies have found that exposure to “forever chemicals” increases the risk of developing severe Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19) infection. Studies have pointed to how these forever chemicals known as per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) weaken the immune system. In turn, people with weaker immune systems are more susceptible to developing a serious or potentially fatal COVID-19 […]

These environmental issues threaten the integrity of their crops and the very existence of their farms.  Toxic “forever chemicals” are concentrating in the water and the soil, polluting the crops and poisoning the food supply. Forever chemicals such […]

(Natural News) A new study from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) found that forever chemicals are even more toxic than scientists initially believed. The agency said that it was asking the Scientific Advisory Board to review scientific documents about the health impact of per- and polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS) such as perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) and perfluorooctane sulfonic […]

(Natural News) Citizens in Washington, D.C., are exposed to toxins in their daily lives, and the government is consistently looking the other way. In late July, the District of Columbia’s Statehood Green Party sent a letter to the Director of Washington D.C. Department of Energy & Environment, Tommy Wells, warning him of unregulated per- and polyfluoroalkyl […]

(Natural News) New studies show that toxic forever chemicals are present in the air we breathe. New research developed a way to measure the presence of per- and polyfluorinated alkyl substances (PFAS) in indoor air and found these substances in several locations, such as kindergarten classrooms, offices, laboratories, and even in the home. Food and […]

(Natural News) Groundwater near at least six military sites in the Great Lakes region contains high levels of toxic yet widely used “forever chemicals.” The Environmental Working Group (EWG) reported that perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) have contaminated water in the Great Lakes. PFAS are a risk to people who eat fish caught within the polluted […]

(Natural News) Chemical giants DuPont and Daikin had known about the dangers of certain chemicals used in food packaging since 2010 but hid them from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), The Guardian first reported. The chemicals, known as 6:2 fluorotelomer alcohol (FTOH), have been linked to several health problems, such as developmental problems, cancer and liver […]

(Natural News) Maine has become the first state in the nation to institute a broad ban of toxic compounds found in a wide variety of consumer goods. The groundbreaking law bans manufacturers from using chemicals known as PFAS in all products by the year 2030, with exceptions only being made for instances where it is […]

(Natural News) A new study warned that more than half of popular cosmetics sold in North America contain high levels of toxic chemicals. Researchers found that 52 percent of the cosmetic products they analyzed, which included concealers, lip products and foundations, contained per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS). Earlier studies have linked PFAS to health issues such […]

(Natural News) More than 2,400 liters of “firefighting water” containing per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) were released from a U.S. military facility in the southern Japanese island of Okinawa. Heavy rain brought the chemicals into bodies of water at Uruma city and other nearby locations. The June 10 incident also added to the chemicals that […]
