RE: Health Matters (13); AIR POLLUTION
Hi Miss @stef1, every heard of "PFOA"? it is used for non-stick frying pans like what Teflon uses as well as any other industrial needs even with the disposable drinking cups and bowls although all of us have some level of exposure from it especially those that are near industrial manufacturing companies which is actually almost everywhere.
The bad thing is that we as humans in particular will continue to absorb this sinister substance which doesn't go away nor our body can get rid of it. We actually will know if we had been exposed enough to it if we would develop cancer and such diseases.
If we happen to witness a person giving birth to a defective baby we will have some clue that our environment or place where we live is high in PFOA and its variants. That is why air pollution is actually the least of our concern because of this insidious man-mad chemical which unfortunately is needed in the manufacturing industry otherwise we will not have products that we use today even with our electronic gadgets that had been now made a need and a right because of the advances in science and technology so that it can enhance our way of life which is modern but we have to pay the price of the cons such as an invisible pollution made PFOA.
Have a nice weekend! 😀👍
