7.5 million Californians drink water with toxic 'forever
chemicals' | Daily Mail Online

C8 (PFAS/PFOA, etc.) is built on fluoride, the negative
ion of the element fluorine. It is very small and slippery. It is near the top
of the elemental scale in its electro-magnetic potential. In the human body it
turns soft tissue to stone. Its first major industrial applications aided the
development of nuclear weapons.
At commercial scales, it cannot be filtered
from water. Once spilled, it’s forever. Crops irrigated with C8-tained water
present exposure vectors, even if a community’s water is C8 free. Living with
it means: Increased kidney, thyroid, and prostate cancer. (Latency effects
predict other diseases will be traced to C8.)
This is the chemical equivalent
of radioactive contamination.
Virulent (small doses often reflect paradoxical
effects, more damage than large doses), systemic, and epigenetic in outcomes
(down through generations). Synergistic effects with other chemicals in modern
water systems are largely unknown.
Water quality reports show C8 (PFAS/PFOA,
etc.) in the system that supplies most of the people in
Fairbanks, Alaska. In
Alaska’s case, local releases can be traced to US military locations, or to
adoption of military standards by state and community fire-fighters.
Coinciding
trend lines suggest that US military expenditure is inversely related to the
health of its funders (enablers).
As C8 speeds entropy, I can’t but wonder if
we’re caught in a sort of slow-motion cannibalization of the machine. Women,
children, and elders first.

See this report by Alaska Community Action on Toxics for
the most up to date accounting of Alaska communities that are contaminated by
C8.
I hear Berkey filters are able to filter this stuff out. Any info on whether all filters that filter fluoride will do the trick?
ReplyDeleteI am not well versed on this chemical at this time.
DeleteI use water softener and RO, and charcoal, and have good ground water to start with.
