Hey Environmental Engineer here. I'm glad they're doing more research on these molecules. I remember just about 5 years ago while I was in graduate school, my toxicology professor claimed that these PFAS forever chemicals were considered SAFE because they didn't react to anything. Now, it looks like research has changed that narrative.

@Bbonno 10 месяцев назад

That argument actually breaks down really easily. Despite 'doing nothing' PFOA is a strong foaming agent. Having foam where it shouldn't be being bad for you isn't that surprising...

@AlexC-pg7cz 10 месяцев назад

PFAS is a giant group of molecules (most of them are commercially used already). Just like alkaloids, it is common for molecules in the same category to show different properties, especially in toxicology. People should always treat and evaluate every molecule separately rather than overlook its potential risk based on its "PFAS" name.

@fintux 10 месяцев назад

Humans always do this. There's a new invention and we think it's safe. Then the evidence starts piling up against that, but we ignore it for years or even decades. Until there are wide-spread consequences. And then we panic and claim "nobody knew". Lead in fuel, X-rays, CFCs, phtalates, asbestos, pesticides, ... Looks like we will never learn.

It also makes me wonder about the old "cell phones and radio" controversy. Just because something doesn't appear _immediately_ biologically harmful doesn't mean it can't be. I suspect it's far from the first (or second, or third, or even fourth) thing to worry about, but I wouldn't be surprised if having a 2.4 GHz electric current in your body at all times isn't going to do at least a little bit funny even if it's at too low an intensity to do "direct" damage via heating and the like, and no individual photon of the inducing wave has enough energy to cause a chemical reaction by itself.

To my knowledge PFOS and PFOA were still used in firefighting foams in the UK up until 2011. It's generally uncommon but can be found in the soil around places such foams were used (fire stations, airports). Which is a fact that slightly terrifies me because it bioaccumulates strongly.

@TheExalaber 10 месяцев назад

You framed the problem with lead as it being reactive enough to damage proteins, but couldn't you reframe it so that lead causes problems in exactly the same way as pfas? In particular, your body confuses lead for calcium and tries to insert lead into the contexts where it expects calcium to do some task, and lead is unable to do that task.

@ifyouwantmoneythengivemeev8094 10 месяцев назад

iirc Arsenic is toxic for the exact same reason. The body will mistakenly use Arsenic in place of phosphorous, but because Arsenic bonds are much weaker than phosphorous those bonds (and by extension the molecule it's a part of) will break.

Something that was drilled into my head decades ago in biology and anatomy class was "structure determines function". More so than even "mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell" that kids like to meme about. Which if we've understood for so long and so well that it was taught as an adage in introductory courses of the subject, I don't understand how these things are surprises to scientists? We've understood for so long about the classic toxins and how they bind to our receptors or interrupt vital metabolic cycles, because of either similar structure or substitutions of elements. And since prions that is further confirmation of the importance of structures of organic compounds. This seems like this will just be another thing to put in the box of proof of the importance of molecular structure. I'm not sure if the sulfur head is unique to what molecule they were using to showcase or if all PFAS have a sulfur head, but that will also cause problems and I imagine is probably actually reactive since we have biological mechanisms for processing that. Which if something does open that up the entire behavior of it in the body system will change then.

@@himan12345678 The specific molecule being used as an example seems to be Perfluorooctanesulfonic acid, which is a common surfactant. There are other pfas surfactants that are also sulfonic acids, but it appears that there are many types of pfas that have other active groups instead. The pattern seems to be to take a normal organic molecule and make it better at what it already does by replacing all of the carbon-hydrogen bonds with carbon-fluorine bonds.

An important point this video is missing is that yes, certain PFAS are unhealthy, but these are mostly only used in the production of the items and products described here and are not contained in the final products. So the products are mostly safe for the end user, but there's still issues with environmental contamination and occupational exposure of the workers in factories working with these substances.

@SeekingTheLoveThatGodMeans7648 10 месяцев назад

Nature's consumption cycle has ways of concentrating substances which can be part of the problem. Even if the average concentration of PFAS in nature is very small (as with mercury and arsenic) a lot higher concentration can end up in, say, fish which are fatty. This is not good for the fish, for other organisms that consume the fish, or for us if we need a food source but it proves measurably unhealthy to us. Some say just continue to use our old Teflon until it becomes unusable.

It doesn't make sense to me. If it can't react, how can "our body" get confused and carry it where it should not be. If it is inert, then it is non existent and uncarriable for the "the body". If cells could feel it and carry it, it would be only by means of chemical interactions.

@kaitlyn__L 10 месяцев назад

That's really interesting. I've known that the prerequisite chemicals are quite bad for us, but for so long the received wisdom for Teflon was that it was so unreactive that if you eat a little accidentally it'll just pass through you. The idea that the body is mistaking them for fatty acids is pretty scary... I already preferred ceramic or high-carbon steel nonstick coatings over Teflon because of the kind of crust I could get on my bacon and steak and so forth. But I guess this is another reason. Edit: other comments are saying this is actually about the chemicals used in production rather than the end product, so it aligns with what I knew already. Still - while my backup frying pan is a Teflon one, and the ceramic ones were cookware I just happened to buy or inherit, I'll probably try not to buy Teflon in the future because of the continued production of these prerequisite chemicals. Especially since I get better results from ceramic anyway.

So use the pan until it’s toast and replace with a non-PFAS alternative, and support anti-PFAS regulation. Happy cooking!

Adipose tissue is the most dense space where estrogen is made in the body. These mimicking lipids would lead to excess estrogen production. Estrogen acts on the hypothalamus in ways that influence metabolism, especially the energy storage phase after fight or flight. Insulin is used to help store carbs as fats for later use. Which increases the capacity for adipose tissue to produce estrogen.

cyanide works more or less the same too, just in a different area. actually a good number of toxins. for pretty much every function on your body there is a substance that can block it up.
