Why do they not do something about this?
Trillions of dollars on global warming.
Rain and air samples collected in metro Detroit that researchers checked for toxic PFAS “forever chemicals” showed the highest levels of TFA, an alarming finding because the compound is a potent greenhouse gas and more toxic than previously thought, but not well-studied.
While PFAS are a chemical class known to be ubiquitous in the environment, the new research is part of growing evidence around the globe that points to TFA, commonly used in refrigeration, air conditioning and clean energy technology, accumulating at much higher levels than other well-studied compounds.
⚠️The #foreverchemical TFA has been found in all 29 river and groundwater samples tested across 10 EU countries!
🧪 NGOs suspect this is mainly coming from PFAS pesticides.

“Clean” energy is incredibly toxic.
TFA is largely produced when fluorinated PFAS gas, or f-gases, break down in the atmosphere. The compound has a life of around 1,000 years – about as long as carbon dioxide. Its toxicity is far less understood than most common PFAS compounds, though recent research shows reproductive system harms similar to other forever chemicals.
The compound is especially problematic because it cannot be filtered out of water with traditional filtration methods, and it easily moves throughout the environment via water or in the atmosphere.

All samples also contained PFOS and PFOA, two of the most common and highly toxic PFAS compounds. The environmental protection agency has found virtually no level of exposure to the two compounds in drinking water is safe and the levels found in Dearborn and Detroit exceed the federal limit.
By the way, I don’t know if I told you this: only The Guardian reports on these toxic chemicals issues.
American media only talks constantly about global warming, which is totally fake.
Most of the American news websites have actual verticals for “climate change.” Nothing about all of these poisonous chemicals. Definitely not anything about the fact that global warming “green” technology produces more of these chemicals than any other industry.
