Description: Forever chemicals are used in everything from rain jackets to jet fuel. But the chemistry behind what makes them useful also makes them stick around in the environment and us...forever? #pfas #foreverchemicals #pfoa #genx #pfos You might also like: Testing the Best Bomb Detectors: youtu.be/TRwqOFHOjac The Top 5 Strangest Poisons That Can Kill You youtube.com/watch?v=4hQ0G0GaYR8 The Chemical Origins of Life youtube.com/watch?v=f44OWlsLeT0 Can Mixing Cleaning Chemicals Kill You? youtube.com/watch?v=FH1h0oWjark Credits: Executive Producers: George Zaidan Hilary Hudson Producers: Andrew Sobey Elaine Seward Writer/Host: Sam Jones, PhD Scientific consultants: David Andrews, PhD Jamie DeWitt, PhD Leila Duman, PhD Cheryl Hogue Brianne Raccor, PhD Sources: First study on PFAS binding to human serum jbc.org/article/S0021-9258(18)65805-3/pdf PFAS Half-Life nrdc.org/sites/default/files/media-uploads/nrdc_pfas_report.pdf Albumin is the major carrier protein for PFOS, PFOA, PFHxS, PFNA and PFDA in human plasma sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0160412019331964 PFAS in the environment tn.gov/content/dam/tn/environment/solid-waste/documents/esos/sw_esos-13_2018-05-16-1540-jones.pdf An overview of the uses of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) pubs.rsc.org/en/content/articlelanding/2020/em/d0em00291g#!divAbstract Understanding organofluorine chemistry.
