Simon Rozendaal wrote in EW Magazine that Greenpeace, with the support of the RIVM, was scaring the Netherlands with a postcode map about PFAS in drinking water. He stated that according to his calculations, it concerned percentages between 0.0000000004 and 0.0000000009, with nine zeros after the decimal point. https://t.co/00RU5aXcJI #PFAS #Drinkwater #Milieu (translated)

"No one is safe from PFAS. They must be banned, and the phase-out must be planned, supported, and completed." The Green MEP, Cristina Guarda, said this during a press conference organized in Brussels to present the results of the study 'PFAS levels in Europeans', which analyzed the presence of various per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances, the so-called 'eternal pollutants', in the blood of 110 volunteers from nine European countries, including Italy: Italy, Belgium, France, Croatia, Germany, Luxembourg, Spain, Denmark, and Finland. #Pfas #Inquinamento #SaluteDonna (translated)

PFAS spojeve moramo zabraniti, a postupno ukidanje njihove proizvodnje i uporabe mora se što prije planirati, podržati i provesti. Više ne možemo čekati niti si smijemo dopustiti da i dalje budemo ti koji plaćaju cijenu. Ako Komisija i države članice glasaju protiv zabrane PFAS-a, bit će direktno odgovorni za zločine protiv okoliša i javnog zdravlja. Također, najveći su zagađivači primarno kemijske tvrtke i one moraju snositi troškove čišćenja onečišćenja. Procjene kažu da bi troškovi čišćenja i obrade vode mogli dosegnuti 1,7 tisuća milijardi (bilijuna) eura. Danas porezni obveznici, vodoopskrbna poduzeća, poljoprivrednici i pogođene zajednice plaćaju onečišćenje koje nisu uzrokovali"Rezultat je jasna stvarnost: vječne kemikalije su u našoj krvi. Testirali smo 110 ljudi u devet europskih zemalja i kod svake pojedine osobe pronašli TFA - najmanji i najpostojaniji spoj iz skupine PFAS, a riječ je o tvari koju Europska agencija za kemikalije (ECHA) klasificira kao reproduktivno toksičnu", istaknuo je Bosanac. #PFAS #zdravlje #Gospić
