Some Maine seafood has PFAS. Your freshwater fish may not be safe either.
- ggm 2y agoGiven the accuracy of measurement, I think we've functionally created a 3° background radiation signal except it will be some level of PFAS, and another one for some level of microplastics. it's in blood. it's in the brain. it's in the fat cells. it's in sperm and eggs and other tissues. If you eat meat or fish/seafood, you're probably eating organisms which functionally act as concentrated sources: Mercury intake from predator fish is the analogue I see here. I'm honestly not sure vegetarians/vegans can avoid it either given that this stuff is bioactive and taken up by plants too. [I'm not a biologist. "bioactive" is probably the wrong word. It seems to remain in the body. It affects the endocrine system at least. it may affect other things]
