New study finds “forever chemicals” may weaken your immune system’s defenses
A new study finds PFAS exposure can significantly weaken vaccine effectiveness, with higher blood levels linked to a 40% drop in COVID-19 antibodies. These “forever chemicals” are immunotoxic, meaning they can cripple the body’s defenses against a wide range of infections, not just one virus. PFAS are nearly ubiquitous, found in water, food packaging, and […]

The ozone fix that backfired: Replacement chemicals have blanketed Earth in 335,000 tons of a forever pollutant
A global study reveals more than 335,000 tons of TFA have fallen to Earth since 2000. This “forever chemical” pollution stems from ozone-friendly refrigerant replacements. TFA is a highly mobile PFAS that spreads globally via rainfall and accumulates. It poses risks to health and aquatic life and is found even in remote regions. Peak pollution […]
