The Forever Chemicals -- The Full Show | Great Lakes Now 

I am from Western Australia. In our South West an American company (Alcoa) is operating. They have asked for permission to build a pipeline for their waste water (PFAS content) over a dam that provides drinking water.... the kicker is that they went ahead and built it and it is in use before it was even approved. I am sharing this video among my community so people understand the risk. Thankyou for getting the message out

This what happens when you let huge corporations run your country.

There’s probably 1001 things like this all over the United States.

Makes you wonder why this hasn't been pushed on mainstream media. This isn't just another story.

fascinating , right in the middle of this doc , a commercial for tefal saucepans and skillets .....

The anti flammable pj's we wore in the 70s

Thank you for posting this.

My mom doesnt seem to care when i tell her this stuff is in teflon pans, if it were my house i woulda tossed those pans out years ago, but all i can do is cook in the stainless steel pans or the ceramic pans to try to avoid this stuff..

It is CRIMINAL that there is no control over the amounts of PFAS in our drinking water. These companies must be held accountable.

Dark Waters brought me here. Interesting interview, but no one is asking the follow up questions that need to be answered. Why aren’t all harmful chemicals bans; why just the two? If Wolverine states 3M should also be fiscally responsible (and I agree) then why doesn’t the lawsuit include them? Where are the laws to protect tax payers from companies that pollute groundwater, food, or air? Keep hearing about money, but none of those major companies pay taxes. The state and federal needs to work for the people not for corporations. Also what about the water in Flint?

we are all a bunch of lobsters in a simmering pot of water right now. Eventually, it will turn to a boil, it's hard having hope for this world when you ban a chemical and they just make another identical one right behind it. can we ever actually fix any of these problems?

I have been preaching this since 2010s so glad people are finally listening. Raised in Tennessee, drank from the hose and have a black spot in the middle of my 2 front top teeth.

Why are these still operating corporations not responsible for clean up?

When and how will we hold major US corporation accountable for poisoning our air, water and soil?

People made big bucks and now others pay the price... sad situation. So much pollution!

Completely disgraceful. Screw future generations and the environment. Just dump the waste out in the woods when nobody's watching. Gotta keep the profits and stock rising.

My father was blind all his life and died at 55 filled with cancer. from environmental poisoning (Hanford nuclear site downwinder, walla-walla Washington) I still dont know if it will get me too. Im 47. Americans all across the country have been poisoned by corporate greed and the fact that we just didnt realize what we were putting in our water and in our bodies. its really crazy and its all coming out now as the 1960s-1980s generations die off from cancer...

As easy as it is to focus on the Wolverine company I'd have to agree with them on pointing out that 3M is equally responsible for its role in this situation.

Its in firefighting.. The fire retardant is full of PFAS..which then makes it in our water systems..

These are the wages of deregulation and giving businesses the power to do anything they want without accountability.

I hope there is a plan to get rid of these forever chemicals. Thanks to the polluters. I have so many people I know that are sick and have died due to water contamination and I'm one of them who is sick from this problem!!!! If I catch someone around me polluting I will confront them on the spot and I mean it....

Such a shame because Belmont and Rockford are just wonderful little towns. I often ride the bike trails that run parallel to the Rogue River and it is just lovely.

Southern Ontario is horrible, if people knew the industrial military history of this area none would drink the water ground or from taps. Masons love suffering, the poorest people in town live on well water and they are the ones who have to do the factory work to afford to live working at the plants that source the contamination of the Maitland Thames rivers in southern Ontario with hexavalent chromium and steel lube in Wingham, high acid yeast bacteria from labatts brewery in London into the river, Ipperwash in Mount Forest has old base where Canada burried the toxic history of its nuclear program from WW2 along with Ogent orange after spraying it all over populated area's of Southern Ontario. Its burried under land mines. I know of these instances because I lived near them, I know it must be a lot worse many towns I haven't seen but I know how the Masons set things up to poison the poor that do the most slavery. I STILL CAN'T CONVINCE PEOPLE I KNOW HERE TO NOT DRINK THAT WATER, THE FLUORIDE AND BRAINWASHING HAVE CONTROL OF THEM.

I live in Ottawa County located in the southwest corner. How can I find out if our well is contaminated

The problem in many areas is the fact that the polluters are companies that haven’t existed in many decades. An example would be contaminants in ground water dumped by contractors on the outskirts of Brookhaven National Laboratory in New York. The water in a homes built about a decade afterwards became contaminated. The Lab was eventually sued, and in turn, Associated Universities who turned around and sued the Federal Government. At the time of the dumping, the contractors had agreed to remove all chemicals when they left. The dumping, then, was a breach of contract. BNL learned indirectly of the problem in the 1990s when an odd cancer cluster showed up in homeowners. The suit against the Lab and now, US Govt. is not for the dumping itself, but for failure to provide proper supervision. The actual worksite is clean because the contractors dumped the dioxin at the far outskirts of BNL property, at the time, in the middle of undeveloped land. A similar situation exists only a dozen miles from BNL at the site of the former Grumman Aerospace company who were building for NASA and producing planes for the US Navy. Again, a couple of decades passed before the problem manifested itself in cancer and birth defects in the residents of homes not built until the early 1980’s. The bad water is in the process of being eliminated by extending mains water to the affected houses and installation by the Navy, (US Govt.) of a filtration system. The people actually paying for it are the adult children, adult grandchildren, and soon great grandchildren of the people who put it there in the 1950’s and 1960’s.

Activated charcoal, reverse osmosis will help us. EPA knows about this and still won't ban PFAs

For the parents of the baby affected by pfos, didn't anyone tell them that infants are NOT SUPPOSED to drink water until they're at least a year????

It is frightening how many places that things like this are experiencing things like this all over the country some known other still not known.

Read up on the largest superfund site in the country (The Hanford Reach), it's tragic, it makes this seem small, but it's not.

ALL GOVERNMENTS NEED TO TEST FOR ALL PFAS INDICATORS.

3M doing it again in Belgium , Europe

How can you not notice the taste of it

oh my God!

Rick Snyder being in charge of water quality is beyond comical. (Flint)

Why are their no comments. This is horrendous.

Wow. A sad wow. Thank you!

Good vid👍

My grandmother lives in a small town in Michigan called white pigeon. I feel like her water is contaminated as well because she has a private well. The water does have a awkward taste to it, it also smells like methane a bit.

I'm sure Gov. Rick Snyder really cared about people having clean safe drinking water.... oh wait.... guess the good ol' gov. must have never heard about Flint.

commenting for the algorithm

I used to work in a 3m warehouse for 15 years a few people died from cancer over the years that always concerned me

2024 we still using it

If the charcoal filters etc can capture the pollutants, why aren't all factories made up install them on the premises to capture these and any other pollutants that we don't know about yet? There have been pollution problems since the industrial revolution governments have had time to pass a few laws. What is stopping them?

Marilao river in Philippines. Sad...

The liver damage is common to all halogenated vinyl and halogenated carbon molecules.

CLEAN UP THE TANNING SITE. GET THE SCRAPS OUT OF THE RIVER AND OFF THE RIVER BANKS.

Caused all the illnesses we see exponentially.

The water filter should be charcoal or hard coal with two filters and break through detectors using resistance and wheatstone bridge. This less expensive design is as effective. Research and development show how much charcoal or anthracite coal is needed to get below 3 ppt .. The primary source of PFA is the hazardous waste burners at the chemical weapon dump in Georgia USA.

Wow, stay away from Michigan.

Pfas is also already in the foods we eat.

Why wouldn't theynat least store the c8 sludge in tanks that won't carode.

What filters she has? Can someone post the name or link here?

Define the police. No desk jockey should be paid a quarter of a million a year! They say they're underpaid... the rookies are on 90k in some places. Make civil suits come out of their budget. And challenge historic contracts where corrupt politicians allowed these companies to leave with no responsibility to clean up nor upkeep their ageing pipe systems.... Research your area. Look at budgets And see how much money is available when you end the huge salaries of officials. They get benefits too. Monitor those. One guy had his own armoured car built! Check your officials. And Research who was in charge at the time the corporations moved in. Rape and pillage. Its all they do. No contemplation of people living with the fear they're going to develop some life threatening condition, and there's no responsibility anywhere. Employ inspectors. There are very few. It's mostly self regulated. How can that be allowed? Are we doing a good job? Oh, yes, we're doing a stellar job. OK... 🙄

If we can't trust our corporate America to ensure our water is safe to drink, what good are they?

Have to logically ask what would the people employed in these companies have done for work? Family farms have been going out a long time. People have no choice but to follow the work.

This is the reflection of the confusion we are always caught on the diversity of chemicals but there is a common quality. Halogenated vinyl and halogenated carbon.

Wake up everyone this is a BiG health risk. Omg EPA needs to get there head out of there ass start protecting our environment you know your JOB

O, It will be OK TRUST ME!!!!!!....I'm a LAWYER

We’ll never win. There’s nothing we can do

It’ll be in the soil forever.

What happened and after many decades everyone find out about this - now it is time to find about the other products especially about medical ... of the last year and warn the people to DON'T DO IT...! If you want a list of them we are very happy to send one, but it will be HUGE and long HAHA ---- ---

You have to have an reverse osmosis system to remove most or all of it and make it safe to drink I don’t use any water that isn’t from my ro system

whenever you lose blood, you lose pfas. you can also try dialysis using hydrophobic filters.

Distill your water people. A distiller costs less than $100 and lasts for years.

Why is this just ok? This isn’t even ok in China anymore

Not just drinking water.. but people need to bathe

Fayetteville no same thing

Spreading PFAS like baby oil at a Diddy party 😂

My lease doesn't expire until Dec 31st . Im homeless . 1st Judge - Became Enlightened . 2nd Judge Broke Law .

Fed Court Next

Wheels of justice turn slow when money rules over life.

Who pays for these tanks ? They still already drank that water Why can't they move why are they still having babies to eventually get sick or desease.

"Waterproof but breathable." Personal hygiene products. Diapers, pads, panty liners, adult diapers, period-panties...

The town says it can't be filtered out of water.

Paying for the contaminations? That doesn't make sense. Who wrote this video's description?

Jones Timothy Clark Jason Lewis Larry

PFAS does cause high cholesterol. I don't get all this talk amount having a safe level of PFAS in the water etc there is no safe level of PFAS there kidding themselves by even suggesting it.

Wait until fracking chemicals come to haunt us. I'm sure they could use biodegradable substances instead, couldn't they?

"this is the highest contamination we are seeing here" what is it?!?!?! This is all fluff.
