Resigned, not oblivious.
I'm not exactly happy they're around, but WTF am I supposed to do as an individual? I mean, I vote, but other then that. This shit is used everywhere, and its not exactly something you can easily look up on your phone when you're in a store.
- phildenhoff 3y agoFor lots of beauty/care products, Yuka does a great job of letting you check if a product has PFAS in it while in store. It supports some food too, iirc. But I’m not sure if there’s a better app overall
- hedora 3y agoFor food, the answer is basically always “yes” or “probably” if the question is “does this contain an estrogen analog derived from petrochemicals that causes developmental and reproductive harm, and cancer?” (So, does it contain PFAS or similar equally bad compounds?) That includes stuff like biodegradable straws (~= paper dipped in PFAS), produce (plastic food wax is common) and meat (packaging, plastic-coated butcher paper).
