of the that's a news update. let's stay with that stuff. boom is updates looking at the changes of why fi use chemical compounds? i'll see you at the top, the next hour by the, the untold story. i just want to point to the find it here repos every weekend on d. w want to a lot of fast food packaging and artificial heart valves having coming by

does especially those a coated with p f. s. human made substances that on found in nature invented some 80 years ago. they have useful properties. and then on fine mobile by want to repellant grease resistance well suited for using blueprints and highly stable that this which is why industry is putting them into more and more products. and that's why we yang because p fos can make you sick. so you couldn't, they can have an impact on fertility. i'm ice cream quality and fetal development and what type they can lower immune response to vaccination. some have upsets, i'm a fast as carcinogenic and i'm sure this became a e u ames to run to key tubs. that uses, putting an industry in flames p, fast that indispensable limits are for that. can we, can we want to do without a mobility and or to production to put them to institution? do we want to do without 5 g technology and fuel cells and best? so what do we do?

best buy intend to find out the p phone systems. the pi and poly florio alcohol substance is covering over $10000.00 different chemicals in various phones, solid, liquid, and gas pool, p fast, a synthetic organic compounds or hydrocarbons in which many o lifting hydrogen atoms are replaced by florine attends that makes these compounds extremely robust and durable, but at the same time, highly persistent, meaning that virtually impossible to breakdown as a result, these forever chemicals accumulate in soil. for example,

i've discovered that the ground here in restaurants, in southwest germany, where i live, as especially high p fast levels. we have lots of p fast in, in of fields in all directions, but with a distinct plan. just before the harvest, i grow ecologist and i need so sca into colleagues systematically collect grading samples to test them for p fast in the lab. i'm going on these uh huh. if these are it's all contaminated, what happens then? then both the farmer can market them as food i've just to feed us back into into so within the testing continues is meaning that the farmers, animal products will then be examined just to lecture with the consumers or protect it took of allies. yeah. people of how contaminated it writes in general, that they're relatively unproblematic,

and then the grains do absorb pizza all but not nearly as much as with weight or soybeans for yeah, for the name, the few stack of the skin, it is the fast becoming less of an issue, you know, it's a constant problem in this area indicating it turns out that the square ok, but the search for contaminants continues on eric crisis home. he grow store breeze cereals and asparagus and he knows what p fast can do to crops. 2015 was a particularly bad. yeah. they had been gone live according to us. properties are right. i'm ready to harvest. yeah, my son's the book checks were done just to be on the safe side, i think. and also because there's a lot of money at stake, spotlight, uh, but unfortunately we couldn't sell which anything. i'd have to destroy the 3 hector as worth of a flock. boy, that was a tough flow. house, 70 or 80000 euros. were gone just like not taking the time to deal with that.

i'm leaving it. we live with us now. can you follow us? it's been some of the 2nd generation and father, i just my father started farming here and my son will continue the transition. so we have to come to terms with attorney, obviously even with inflation move in house. if eric rises a $140.00 hacked has a highly contaminated, so name will store breeze as they absorb a relatively large amount of p fast, which could mean the end of his phone. and how do peace us enter the environment in the 1st place and what impact did they then have? i've come to this with public research university, e t h in. so rick, to, um, says, profess a mountain shannon has been studying these compounds for 15 years. and has long warned about the inflationary use of past netflix and so people have thrown around us. why? so i'm ready for one thing because they used a lot, especially in products that are open, meaning they can reach out to these products as well. and then it is causing,

flowing pond is so hard to break, but pete has done great in the environment has been so once they've reached out here to stay and can johnny on woods 5 a wins and walter a me think lessons me because me foster save us a child that deployed in a multitude of ways, for example, in firefighting sites, or in everyday objects, like furniture, clothes, and plastics. knowledge kinds of p fast known as fluoride polymers. i use to cause the surface of frying pans liquid or soap like p fast cold fluoride is to effect and make materials. oil and water repellant. and then the flow renee to o. s. gases which serve as coolants and fridges and heat pumps. v dangerous pieces diffusion, but i live in higher and different kinds, but most of them are toxic to a certain degree. if you look. mm hm. they damage the liver and kidneys. if they

can cause testicular cancer, they disrupt lippitt metabolism, suppressed immune response, and lead to the lowest pun, counts in math. i mean sort of, i mean, and then how can i find out what contains pieces decreased as cost? long as where someone says down to researchers that and patents and industry documents you want to find out. there's no general registry calls just to kind of give me that list of places. why know this vile destination? because there's no central climax. let's keep the substances that are on the market tomorrow, and you factors might mix them into cosmetic creams or apply them to climbing rugs, same healing, and that doesn't even have to be declined, pardon, investments, don't think of the recent studies show. p, fostering practically every single lithium batteries, oil and gas plants and tanks, many kinds of paper, competing dental care products and cosmetics, costs refrigerants and medical implants. tonight, just a few examples. so finally,

we'll get to grips with the appropriate name and then thank this mr. was the thing is why is it because they simply reversible comes in, you can't get them back out of the environment. what do you mean? it's like once you've pulled window, can you coffee, your own, get it out again with the, except on a much larger scale. so it's impossible. death is moving here and probably in a spiral down to the control is a full circle. mm hm. so one's facile ways patients. yes. i think that's the reality. the info alias for this patient the read don't see a show where it's being detected. the blue dog, sweat contamination is suspect tooth and coming up to and from what it the map is fall from comprehensive with shocking results on a line in germany and has 1500 hot spots. many

a chemical plant. so apple and in the case of my home region in south west and germany in fields around a 1000 tact has a farm land here, a highly contaminated. why. how did this become a problem? reach me shanghai reinhardt is a geologist who's an expert at cleaning up p fast hotspots. com, dots. so via it happened because so called soil conditioners were applied to the fields and also the boot and holes capacity which contain to cope sludge. a few, in particular from nominated paper products, all still pop you in to see the receipts to fish bits, the popular youngest people used to, to improve the social and instead ended up contaminating stuff. this, in the face of the full invited me it's a patchwork of fields contaminated to varying degrees. timing is any possible to a limited extent. wells were closed due to high pass levels,

cleanup operations of rad. this was once a contaminated field, a. it was done gospel and cleans one's good highness. manhattan 9 might not know. they dug down roughly one meter utah. this material was then placed under a building must be under a 4 slab i seals or the i so that know run off rainwater can see through this material stuff as a kind. you just like spots like he's as much as it wish to him cutting the war to find rain. well, she's the p f. s out of the soil and into the ground water. this also supplies local wells, but also keeps on flowing. taking the p f. s with it that these us of i saw plus more than he is the to the water. you can see here is ultimately open ground water because there's no gravel. so it definitely does cool. and this water than passes from over there. so where the basement is by some back into the gravel officer and flows on his ground water. he says, cool in such

a vital method. do i think is that what does that main floor is the properties and feels safe then? yeah, the boss are storm, but the one this water is taken to irrigate crops, then obviously that will be a problem. so you can see these until chopped. a to d that's done. i'm pulled name is the swimming is permitted here. the most it contains be faster, but is regularly monitor 2 kinds of p facet detected most frequently in will to hear. the fellow will pass no row to knowing as each a remnant from the production of no mistake coatings and p false or path flow row obtained so fun. i cast it to houston firefighting site. despite those being pretty much bend for years, they've built shopping ground floor to as a large areas. and it's via this ground floor to the p fast, keep polluting eric rises from every year. he uses millions of leeches of water to irrigate his crops. but the water from the wells on his farm is so contaminated

that he 1st has to purify it in the silos using activated carbon sites. like feel free to steve when probably take is the most of the so it's clean. there's advisor to silos. this is the 1st time cleans mm. but some time after we've put in a new carbon filter site, we take most your samples you might be to holding control and you can see that it's clean. although it is 1 point one, the carpet of such a rated the p 5 spring through 20. then we realize it's not working anymore has to be at least and that's why the 2nd silo is there to katya, as i say in the system. but i think it's the emergency side of it so nothing bunt can happen. and it's kind of specing on the of the, you know, they change. currently we change one sign up a year, 2000 as this call it. so something like this cost more current basis, a $7.00 or $8000.00 euros seems off. that was the only one i know to i. yes. have you ever considered quitting the cops out? yes. and the trouble is off the farm like this. well,

the reason why it's like having a house with a dead body in the center and then the last to buy it was a lie you currently got accept this based on finally cover. so the situation is a precarious one. yeah, to p fast continue to find the way into the environment. why the consequences, a well known and european union also richie has reacted by issuing regulations and prohibiting certain types of pieces in 2006, they found people's in 2008, restrictions on the food stuff in 2020 a band on p fella. and limits on 20 sorts of p fast in drinking water. in 2022, a band on personnel ro heck, same so funded candidates. and in 2023, a strict drinking water directive. people can just do what they want their own room on some of the use of p. c. they sufficient all do you items not escape built by it? there's a global convention that currently includes 3 kinds of p 5 sort of banned worldwide

about, but that's a tip of the iceberg, cause i stuck if you want to add payment has to have a product. you can do that and they're sticking with us for that. and we, we need to get away from the floor, a chemical music team. and that's just part of a general reorientation and chemical policy. 242. we need well justin energy transition, but a chemicals transition to other under another way of looking at chemical products and thinking about what way using them form and in walton amounts. we need a serious re, single product and go and the e. u now requires old chemicals to be registered, which involves manufacturers submitting documentation about how safe a substance is. only those of very high concern a subject to authorize ation. although in the case of p fast that could soon change b, u is considering a logical proposal that the production, marketing and use of

o p fast be restricted to the chemical industry is up in homes because exceptions aside, thousands of existing p fast could no longer be used in the you, the proposal is now being evaluated by scientific committees, which will deliver their opinions to the european commission. and if at all, i'm usually by uncovering not just individual substances but the whole not for me to mr. yeah, this is sampling very and usually a 1st and in fact in many cases, dfcs not only monthly toxic, but that also it's streaming persistence, which means they can't get out of control to ok. or also for political hawkins, when he's in front of they concluded that due to this persistence problem and the gravity of the situation, it's appropriate to group all past together. when does, that's an almost unprecedented step in e u. a one that the chemical industry believes is in fact, because not all p fast, all the same on the pricing store today in the netherlands,

it's home to us. company come was august european production site in operation for over 60 years. it makes flo road pull him as a plastic like p 5, the water and ground around the plant, a highly contaminated yet to come was says the chemicals used in its production. us say that again, we'd like to kind of stop questions directory over that. but go offices in writing and they said without fluoride problem is semi conduct as batteries and hydrogen technology made in europe would no longer be competitive. and i saw the client and daughter last. we're investing 75000000 euros to reduce p 1st emissions by of the 99 percent. an over regulation of fluoride polymers would endanger the industrial competitiveness of the e. u. the

. so what do the communities affect to have to say the associate in dogtown whole, assuming kimball was for polluting the environment tanya, the young uh is a member of the co counsel. does she really think they'll be able to bring this chemical giants to it's nice falls under the game here in 90. 61. i think that's the most important to me from them for our city. you suit the company . why? we think they must have known that when they were here for reducing and that's i will claim that to be safe or you have known that the chemicals you use are polluting, have polluted in the, in those times our area and uh, our risk for the health for virus that distance,

due to high levels of peace on the council, has already shots drinking more to wells, and advise these people not to eat, purchase gro, near the lake, or swim minutes or as it is. and it's now taking come was to coast. uh is your goal also that this company is no longer located here? no, that's not our goal. um, because our goal is that the use of the chemicals, different chemicals to pay falls. this, our goal is to restrict them and to get them a schedule rid of it. and if you say, well, just leave our region and a go to another country, they still have the use of these chemicals. it also takes a lot of courage to do then. and why did you indian decide to do it anyway? i think it's also a statement that's a big companies don't. so whoever fee who will come out sounds, how will the court rule that come was, is liable for the p fast pollution?

something i'll be finding out say can lose itself. was there any founded in 2015 as a spin off from the pumps? the us chemical giant is responsible for one of the worst cases of p, fast contamination worldwide. the shocking story which has been the subject of several films played out in the us state of west virginia. but i was present since the 1950s, the palm to be making its test on coaching in pocketbook using the p fast compound p. so products the production waste contaminated the surrounding land and water capital on a neighboring farm. dined on the farm and himself contract to come along with the suspicious, the high number of all the residents, the resulting legal battle with the palm twin term for almost 20 years. it was

revealed that the company had known about p. f. o is toxic effect. since the 19 sixty's yet continued to discharge the waste into the environment in the end to contact, to pay around $700000000.00 in compensation to those effected this heart of and that the health of thousands of people is mama to to this day just like in the region i'm from was like, well i no longer live in the affected area. maybe i should also have my lunch the the questions i'll get the test results back in a few days time. we evidently need to find a way of doing without forensic chemicals. i want to meet people who have discovered alternatives, and i know just with the

field, several fund pieces hotspots as a chemical and oil industry facilities here at the post of roof to them. i can see one reason why when extinguishing major blazes or in training exercises firefly has to fill a huge amounts of size. this foam used to contain large amounts of p fast resulting in the large scale contamination of entire areas. this fire academy firefight is really on how to extinguish flames with p fast free 5. i could pad, so is there instruct, techno as of as the deputy chief of a factory fiber gauge. he used to work a lot with phone that contains p fast because today he trains colleagues to put out big places using a new kind of 5 and the top 5. what makes it different? now you can solve it on like the old people on space

a 3 m c plus i think this phone does not create an obvious film of water between the burning material and the phone. here it's a layer of film itself that is active. on wednesday, you can see this time is stable, it doesn't fully ponce that phase. we can, because them all and all that is exactly on the end. and it still covering the combustible material, and prevented from about breathing and possibly re ignited and also dump. yes, we got by speed upset, so this time can simply be disposed of normally, this is the is on the phone with p, f. s. people. so i think i found most, i'm that needs to be incinerated as hazardous waste and so i can just release it into the environments. yeah, that's what happened for decades on a large scale and with domestic consequences. now it's possible to find even large files using p fast, free fun. still, it'll be a huge task to train or firefighters how to use it, and upgrade to thousands of facilities, small city. and 1st we have to find out how to extinguish fires and storing this

pre phone bundle. then what adjustments need to be made the equipment and how do we need to clean the vehicles in tanks to ensure that the p fos, from the old thom has really gone and isn't now in the newsome mission of mine. so i'm going to be other than i the people that right away made off of that there's no, it was a long process i'll consume with no firms to ask about that. and then we had to learn how and develop our own system of the the 1st thing. now we know it's a major project for every vehicle in the fire extinguishing system itself requires a huge amount of time and money on and they tend to lose right among the 1st product. so a manufacturer has tried to replace piece hospice outdoor gas featuring move to repellant materials. how successful was a visit found a in southern germany. the company was a pioneer in making p fast free sportswear with other firms following since the

funds had of development. bettina hold gives me a tour of the account. this is water repellant. ha. so you know they always be fast free now. i them. yeah, yes. yeah. okay. it should. the production of new fabrics is a bit more involved. lots of to generations of developments and lots of trial and error then now just as more to resistant and durable as tech styles coated with pink fast. yeah, the, the, the amounts of water coming out of the shower is equivalent to heavy rain full. but almost a nice and drying p fast free out to wet works and is now widely available. so i'm like a vehicle. it was a long journey loosely we had to convince the chemical industry to do something. and was, we have to convince our supply chain to switch to p, faucet free alternative items,

which meant changing entire production processes. let's put test it. just as i've been with us has been split. so they got that. then there were very few, pretty fast free alternatives on the market. much the chemical industry simply didn't offer them because the demand wasn't there. and then we're done. yeah. then tom, some point green piece launched detox campaign with a big focus on p 1st. and the outdoor and sort, square industry was publicly taken to task comp and then things really picked up speed i, there was pressure to change and so the chemical industry got moving to and instead of one alternative, suddenly you have many to try out to do more than it was for being consistent, i'm guessing that was all tricky is clearly the industry needs and also time to come up with alternatives. but who is the piece? i think the stream exactly. the major manufacturer has a based in the us, but produce all life, including in europe,

3 um known fritz that he serves and face mosques as a major producer. yes, 3 and plans to quit manufacturing p fast. by the end of 2025. why? the 3 i will pay more than $10000000000.00 to settle lawsuit surrounding for ever chemicals and drinking water. the us multinational 3 m says it's reached a tentative 10 to the world. wide 3 m is facing hundreds of low suits, related to p cost pollution. in 2023 alone, it's settled in array of claims in the us by agreeing to pay of a $10000000000.00 in american history. next i head off to the 3 m subsidy. read dining and located in gained off various largest chemicals. the pounds which 3 m plans to close soon lies on the river. it's this region has been battling p fast pollution for years deficient contaminated and drinking water has to be filled since i'm not allowed on the high security factory grounds. so they'll be no

interview with dine in. it makes flu road. pelham is used to cope components and chemical plants and in the production of mike pritchens, the man i'm meeting, he is a chemical pox for my direct to now spokesman for a low be great backing this location. and, but he might let me on to the grounds either. instead, he takes me to a meeting room with an aerial photo of the chemical plant on the scene. so we're right up there in the, in that white building does. uh huh. where exactly of the piece has produced to yeah, that because i assumed you so much and have the operations here on the edge of the factory premises in this under seated. 0 of the biggest production facility for federal polymers. the whole 40 percent of the amounts produce in all of europe comes from here, which is not just 3 items large. and so it's a biggest plant of its kind in europe. and the most modern in the world goes down.

what is this thing with dance to unlock it of it? that's what he says. he says, why it's closer as a problem. not just for workers here, but also for european industry. has you on this page industry? i think that's why it was so attached to this. pacey, hang on, do some stones, i'm attached to this location with all my heart and soul. do nothing. because for the foreseeable future, a modern industrial society can't do without the for a polymers that are produced here. and it's not possible for technological reasons, takes the longest coal in carbon in florida, and i can find the strongest bond known in chemistry next. and that's why they can't be replaced. can this we can, can use the search to stand out done for now is easy, but you also can't force other items to behave like flooring or hi cindy. so what this be? so it's a material properties of liking soft c. i'm yes, and i agree. gasoline powered car as a kilo of little polymers in a teaser,

reported in medicine, and electric version will have to come to your house. i'm 15 kilo limits. do we want to do without e mobility? when do i want to do without chip reduction or 5 g technology lane of defense key taking a look if it's a fuel cell is hydrogen electrolysis since they're all involved. floral polymer membranes, putting him on no thesis equals no energy transition and no future technologies to the can. delta spokesman that seems to be no doubts. his group even expects the market for us to grow and is now being for production to continue a gained of the thing that's been getting the industry being against radical restrictions isn't tool that surprising check. but business interests assigned to they have a point as i traveled to find blood to visits of small stones top cold e on a switch is investigating new ways of making fuel cells to date,

fuel cells have all required cops that contain fast, like many other hydrogen technologies, oh i, that's what that's about as far as the 16 strong team is he on assessed is trying to change that before the cfo these along. that tells us how far they've come. this is how fuel cells walk. fuel cells transform chemical energy from se hydrogen into electric power without combustion. power used to propel trucks. for example, hydrogen protons passed through a membrane only putting me able to positively charged particles. the electrons travel through an external circuits producing collect tricity as each cell generates just one volts that combined into stacks often comprising hundreds of fuel cells. the house of every cell is its proton exchange membrane,

which has to be chemically stable, durable, an easy to make, which amounts of the fuel cell contain p. s. club in the membrane in the electrode is made of for flu rosul sonic acid else which belongs to the dfcs family to the p 1st, correct capital. so the phones are fluid, also sonic acid has a high proton conductivity and permeability totally categories. that's why p 5, so there's a popular option right now, as i'm, as it performs best under the requirements, it conducts protons form and sufficiently stabilize the stuff here. it says, that's what needs replace it. right? there's a 5th to assess and does it work? some good, we're here to a certain extent and give it for ma. we've already proven its performance and a full format sound which could then actually be built into the stack. uh, i know about that of the technology as a market ready yet, additional it'll be mark plus us. that's when do you expect to see because it was in the,

as we're aiming to have something market ready by the end of the year after next. and then of course, we still have to produce it at scale. how about different understood, but ours aren't the only components in the fuel cell stack that use p 57 of the manufacturers of the gas diffusion layers. i'm a sealants also need to follow suggested that that is from the, from the naturalist. oh, not seeing me this as the pieces are in assess the t and hydrogen technology right now. they're not going forward. investing punishment going on as a high talk today. we still need peace as hot so as not to nip the versioning hydrogen economy in the bud. fresh thinking about it's very important, these substances the band to ensure that over time between hydrogen technologies really are green and that everyone in the industry works together to develop these alternatives to not to me yet in many and the industry is still very mentally fighting change and continue to buy and compete

we get some news from the to the verdict is being reached in the trial against cameras, the local authority, one the judge rules that can was actually illegally and was responsible for the pollution. so the relevant communities have a right to compensation while they continue to fight for p fast to be banned worldwide, the 2 most responded that it is willing to discuss concrete mentions, but not to stop producing p fast to get them back to 0. isn't we really dependent on p, f s 9? know me the field with these companies on that they should be searching for alternatives in many areas they've already started having to find alternative trick is a great up searching innovation. ultimately the icon so you can see some of us today,

the biggest proportion of p fast go into air conditioners, cooling systems, and to heat pumps in the form of flu. renee to the gases which we used is refrigerants. more heat pumps will be needed, as we transition to green, a sources of energy. here at the found whole for institution, fryeburg, lena snob, is conducting research into the heat pumps of tomorrow. instead of s, gas is they will operate using natural refrigerants, like propane some manufacturers are already producing these propane heat pumps got 2 different codes, natural refrigerants are found in nature, so they're easily tolerated in utah. and that's an exciting aspect when it comes to looking for alternative damage. i'm spending a effect on, i don't know, even how well do they work. upon propane is a tried and true refrigerant, and it works just as well as existing refrigerants,

and ask for the higher temperatures involved in the renovation of older buildings. it's sometimes even better than the usual refrigerants. the engineer shows me the inner workings of a heat pump, a tangle of pipes and cables. so it seems, well the small when you consider the device like this is meant to heat an entire house. and where does the refrigerant flow here? this is the compressor. it's the components that come sit around if natural propane works just as well, and just being in use for decades, i wonder why did industries replace it with p fast gas in the 1st place? the finest without pain is fine level. so that's the big issue, because obviously it's what it is it, and it's great, you wouldn't have a problem with having a propane heat pump ahead on you said that i wouldn't just because i have a feeling. so what the company's really put into which i want to measure is to see

how much refrigerant you really need and then how much you can reduce the amount to also lower the safety risk. besides physical science with heat pumps, then the synthetic refrigerants containing p fast can easily be replaced, but for as long as they can, industries will keep using s gases and other p fast chemicals. simply because that's so practical that that continued production means that p fast will also keep accumulating in the ground in rain. and also, you know, abilities i have an appointment with a toxicologist from gemini, the environmental protection agency, to see how contaminated to my blood. this is have you had your test results and is expected we could find for fluent added chemicals in your blood and sarah,

an emergency room for me. mm hm. we found a little more piscolla then p false, which is vexing because the fella is a substance that already has an effect at low concentrations and concepts that soon dropped and your contamination is so high that we can loud with any certainty that it won't affect your health, we'll see some can bottom, that means what? so yeah, the fact that you're in relatively good company today, we haven't found a single person, children's teenagers or adults. i knew where the substances weren't present excuses to finish having enough buys and couldn't. how did they get to my bulging mind cup and it comes to of i should likely through the food and drink. but if you got frequent conception of eggs, efficiency food, or organ meats or that you know, vine is and i haven't eaten meat for 30 years. what was it? oh no, that's just it's of course that's good. but also disconcerting. what i'm getting in this thing. so is it oh, from compass obviously. yeah. this is included is this is everywhere in the

environment is a v t a is this i didn't vouchers is busy. personally, i find it annoying that we spend so much time discussing whether to take counter measures against forever, chemicals getting lost and i'm a guy from the side. so you're in favor of a band opposite. absolutely. invite you to a data on the contamination of children and young people in germany and young people and adults throughout europe shows that our population is too highly contaminated for us to be able to safely rule out effects on danger, as to our health. and thank us, thank you. and what can i do about nothing? ultimately, we need laws to prevent more contamination. and the use p fast restriction proposal achieves that. industries have been fighting it for months. the main argument being that pieces are indispensable. the notion that many was such is disagree with

the escape securely. and they're also talking the individual products, the web, the size of the very important to which we call essentially have to come on to additional hot phone. so i'll send a cube sort of tough loan for example, me have them full filter of polymers for dialysis machines, where it's vital does not, doesn't clump prostate talking about what we think i'm clean and that's, and that's some of those applications where i p fast, are extremely effective and we'll continue to meet them. but that's just a small fraction of the many, many uses at present when the imaging use to these of your final applications with launch the solve. the problem includes the arguments and now being assessed by the european chemicals agency who will prevail? that will ultimately be decided by the european commission, the governments of e u. member states and europe in parliament in 2 a 3 years time. but we still have no um, so as to what can be done about the huge amounts of p, fos that are already in the environment. getting rid of them is like trying to

extract the milk back out of your coffee. but despite the difficulties, one attempt is on the way as a nato, as fields need gemini, is no sea coast. it might look like a giant sun books here. it's anything but the playgrounds, this is all contaminated us. yes. how many tons in total? to begin this solely to watch 702800000 tons of various to get the p, fos out of it in the past several. so sounds like a crazy idea. our info is huge and loud. well, here's the good news room here, the sort of the sprinkler quickly water to rinse away the larger elements. it's a simple enough set to save when shake and keep repeating until the pieces are
