Podcasts about forever chemicals

Join Daily Inter Lake reporter Taylor Inman as she goes over five major stories shaping Northwest Montana this week - from forever chemicals detected in the Flathead Watershed to a new flood-resilient bridge for Farm to Market Road.The University of Montana's Flathead Lake Biological Station has confirmed the presence of forever chemicals and pharmaceutical compounds in the Flathead Watershed, including sites in Flathead Lake, the Flathead River, the Swan River, Stoner Creek, Ashley Creek and Whitefish Lake. Bio Station Director Jim Elser said concentrations are currently below levels of direct health concern, but the findings should motivate continued surveillance, which is challenged by the high cost of PFAS analysis.Kalispell ranked 48th out of nearly 1,900 U.S. cities and towns with more than 20,000 residents for population growth between April 2020 and July 2025, according to the U.S. Census Bureau. The city grew from 25,076 to 31,851 residents over that period, a 27% increase and the largest of any Montana city in its population range.A 39-year-old man with a long history of driving under the influence faces felony charges including criminal child endangerment following a June hit-and-run in Whitefish. Myles Wayne Whitford was arrested in Kalispell with his child present and is due in Flathead County District Court on July 23.Columbia Falls Aluminum Co. has agreed to pay $57.6 million to clean up the former smelter site under a proposed consent decree with the Environmental Protection Agency, marking a milestone nearly a decade after the property was listed as a Superfund site in 2016.A Belgrade construction firm has been selected to build a replacement bridge across Libby Creek on Farm to Market Road, one of many structures damaged in the December 2025 flood in south Lincoln County. The Montana Department of Transportation says the new bridge is being designed to be more resilient to future flooding.Northwest Montana deserves strong news reporting.

Forever Chemicals & Microplastics: The Invisible Pollution Inside Us What if the most widespread pollution on Earth isn't something you can see? In this episode, we dive into the strange and unsettling world of forever chemicals (PFAS) and microplastics—man-made substances that have found their way into our water, food, blood, organs, and nearly every corner of the planet. From non-stick cookware and food packaging to synthetic clothing and bottled water, we explore how modern convenience may have created a legacy that could outlast civilization itself. Along the way, we separate fact from fiction, examine the latest scientific research, discuss how these chemicals became so widespread, and ask the bigger questions: Are we living through another leaded gasoline moment? Can these contaminants ever be cleaned up? What do they actually mean for our health? And what happens when "forever" becomes part of the human body? As always, the conversation wanders into unexpected territory with weird facts, dark humor, surprising history, and the kind of rabbit holes only Sofa King can find. Listen. Learn. Laugh.

Send us Fan MailYour fuse feels shorter than it used to and you can't quite explain why. Before we blame it all on social media, sleep debt, or “the times we're living in,” we take a hard look at a quieter force that may be shaping mood from the inside out: PFAS, the so-called forever chemicals now found in the blood of most Americans.We walk through what PFAS are, why the carbon fluorine bond makes them so persistent, and where exposure hides in plain sight, including nonstick cookware, stain resistant materials, food packaging, and contaminated groundwater tied to firefighting foam. Then we follow the neuroendocrine thread that gets far less attention. We explain how PFAS may disrupt thyroid hormones, alter the HPA axis stress response, and contribute to neuroinflammation that can interfere with neurotransmitters tied to impulse control and calm, including dopamine and GABA. The result, in plain terms: less emotional buffer, more snap, and more anxious edge.We also dig into what the research is showing so far, from links between early-life PFAS exposure and behavioral outcomes to emerging adult findings in highly contaminated areas. Most importantly, we focus on agency and practical risk reduction. You'll get a clear, step-by-step plan for cutting exposure, including what water filtration works best for PFAS, what certifications to look for, which cookware to replace first, smarter food storage habits, and simple ways to support elimination over time.If this changes how you think about irritability, brain fog, or stress, subscribe for more, share this with someone who needs it, and leave a review or comment with your biggest takeaway or the swap you're making first.DISCLAIMERThe views, information, or opinions expressed by guests during this podcast are solely those of the individuals involved and do not necessarily represent those of AFSO21's Weekend Wrap-up Podcast and its hosts.

Hidden in your water, food, and even your blood, forever chemicals (PFAS) are nearly impossible to destroy - and now U.S. regulations are being rolled back. Listen in to how PFAS became unavoidable, what they're doing to our health, and whether we can ever truly get rid of them.   In this episode, Therese Markow and Dr. Carrie McDonough discuss perfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), also known as forever chemicals. PFAS, which include PFOA and PFOS, are persistent organic pollutants used in various products, such as Teflon for your cooking pans and Scotchgard. While there are natural molecules that incorporate fluorine, the compounds we are most concerned about when we talk about PFAS cannot be synthesized naturally and are difficult to break down. Dr. McDonough discusses exposure risks, how we are exposed, and the efforts that have been made to regulate these chemicals. She emphasizes the need for better detection methods and remediation strategies.     Key Takeaways: While some PFAS are excreted from the human body, many are not and linger in our blood and cells. A lot of pollutants accumulate in the adipose fat in the human body. However, PFAS are mostly found in proteins and membranes, such as the kidney, liver, and blood.  The first clue that PFAS were widespread in humans was back in the 1970s. However, the results were inconclusive - they just didn't have the instrumentation they needed to confirm it or the standards from the companies in order to identify the PFAS. Biomagnification causes creatures, including humans, that are higher up the food chain to have higher concentrations of PFAS than those lower in the food chain. This includes those who are herbivores, omnivores, and carnivores.  Companies have been putting these things out into our environment for decades; for some amount of that time, they knew that they were doing it and that they were toxic, but didn't tell anyone. There is really no way to protect anyone from these chemicals that we did not consent to being in our bodies.    "If you're not living in an area with highly contaminated water, or some kind of large contamination issue, your main source of PFAS is probably your diet." —  Dr. Carrie McDonough   Episode References:  Toxic Gaslighting: How 3M Executives Convinced a Scientist the Forever Chemicals She Found in Human Blood Were Safe: https://www.propublica.org/article/3m-forever-chemicals-pfas-pfos-inside-story  PFAS leave fingerprints in your blood – researchers are figuring out how forever chemicals transform in your body to read these clues: https://theconversation.com/pfas-leave-fingerprints-in-your-blood-researchers-are-figuring-out-how-forever-chemicals-transform-in-your-body-to-read-these-clues-280396 Dark Waters: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt9071322/  They Poisoned the World: Life and Death in the Age of Forever Chemicals by Mariah Blake: https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/554198/they-poisoned-the-world-by-mariah-blake/    Connect with Dr. Carrie McDonough: Professional Bio: https://www.cmu.edu/chemistry/people/faculty/mcdonough.html  Google Scholar: https://scholar.google.com/citations?user=Xq5HrPYAAAAJ&hl=en  Website: https://groups.chem.cmu.edu/mcdonough/  LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/carrieamcd    Connect with Therese: Website:  www.criticallyspeaking.net Bluesky: @CriticallySpeaking.bsky.social Instagram: @criticallyspeakingpodcast Email: theresemarkow@criticallyspeaking.net   Audio production by Turnkey Podcast Productions.

The Tim Conway Jr. Show Hour 1 (6.26) When you're stuck in a crappy job or out of work, weekends already suck — and dealing with the public, refunds, and customer service can make it worse. But this week we're diving into something bigger: the Boyle Heights Fire that ignited on June 17th, and the alarming moment Watch Duty deactivated coverage of the area "unless conditions change." Someone clearly wasn't on top of this. We're joined by retired Former L.A. County Fire Captain Steve Kreeger, a 40-year veteran demanding ANSWERS. Twelve hours in, Watch Duty reported nothing to see — and we break down how the app works as a conduit, pulling from multiple sources and retransmitting to users. An after-action report is desperately needed. Plus, we cover the LaCoFD international USAR team (USA-2) activated to respond to Venezuela after devastating 7.2 and 7.5 earthquakes ripped through the country's center — deploying 71 members, 6 canine teams, and 84,000 lbs of equipment alongside the Fairfax County International Urban Search and Rescue teams. Then we tackle the grim aftermath: the overwhelming odor of rotting food, a clever penny trick to tell if your fridge lost power while you were away, and the staggering 75 million gallons of drinking water it took to extinguish the blaze. We close on the cleanup nightmare — that "sickly sweet" stench, the heavy metals and forever chemicals potentially released, and the brutal final price tag: $4.5 million to taxpayers. #BoyleHeights #BoyleHeightsFire #WatchDuty #LAFire #LACountyFire #CaliforniaFire #LosAngeles #BreakingNews #Wildfire #FireSafety #USAR #Venezuela #VenezuelaEarthquake #Earthquake #SearchAndRescue #FirstResponders #Firefighters #PowerOutage #ForeverChemicals #Taxpayers #LANews #CommunitySafety #DisasterResponse #PrepperTips #TrueCrime #PodcastLife #NewEpisode #ListenNow See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Forever chemicals are contaminating our air, our water, and our food supply. The State of Maine is showing what can be done about it. In the news this week, Patti and Doug talk about new research on prenatal exposure to Wi-Fi radiation and its impact on neurodevelopment, and how data centers powering AI are driving a massive increase in the use of fossil fuels to produce energy. Then author Marina Schauffler joins the conversation to talk about her new book “Inescapable: Facing Up to Forever Chemicals” about how her home state of Maine has responded to the environmental and health crisis caused by farmers spreading sewage sludge laden with these hazardous chemicals.

PFAS and microplastics and tap water—oh my! Join us as we discuss these trending topics with Darrin Polhemus, Deputy Director of the Division of Drinking Water at the State Water Resources Control Board.

Ongoing research into the forever chemicals known as PFAS is putting an emphasis on the health risks firefighters face. University of Arizona public health professor Melissa Furlong discusses her studies regarding firefighters and their exposure to cancer-causing PFAS chemicals. Melissa Furlong spoke with Tim Swindle, professor emeritus of Planetary Science at the University of Arizona.

Forever chemicals are everywhere — in your carpet, your cookware, your cosmetics, and increasingly, your drinking water. PFAS — per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances — have been building up in our environment, our water, and our bodies for decades. And while federal regulatory momentum on forever chemicals is stalling, states are moving in the opposite direction. In this episode of People Places Planet, we sit down with Secretary Jim Kenney, General Counsel Zachary Ogaz, and Assistant General Counsel Greg Smithkier from the New Mexico Environment Department to break down what PFAS are, why they're so difficult to eliminate, and what state-level action actually looks like in practice.They walk us through New Mexico's multi-pronged PFAS strategy: listing aqueous film forming foam (AFFF) as a hazardous waste, phasing out PFAS-containing consumer products, and implementing the country's first-ever consumer product labeling icon for intentionally added PFAS. They also discuss the state's ongoing litigation against the Department of Defense over PFAS contamination at Cannon Air Force Base.New Mexico has emerged as a national leader on PFAS action, and this conversation reveals exactly how — and why it matters for every state. With EPA rolling back MCLs and retreating from class-based regulation, the episode raises a broader question: can a patchwork of state policies produce national standards? And, at what cost to states already stretched thin on resources and scientific capacity?Also, be sure to check out ELI's recent report Current Trends in Toxics Litigation for more information on PFAS litigation trends.What are PFAS, what risks do they pose, and where can they be found?

Today we have a deep dive into Pennsylvania's water quality. The waters of a western Pennsylvania stream are getting tainted by ‘forever chemicals' from Pittsburgh International Airport. Researchers are looking closely at how much these chemicals could be getting into the sediments and wildlife that depend on the stream.Less than three weeks remain until the state budget deadline. Pennsylvania lawmakers are looking for ways to help balance the budget by considering taxes aimed at the tech industry.The Pennsylvania SPCA removed 78 cats and kittens from a Lancaster County home on Tuesday.House lawmakers are calling on their counterparts in the state Senate to pass legislation that would allow Pennsylvania's high school athletics governing body to split up playoff competition for public and private schools.And now it's time for our weekly segment called The Bright Spot. Every Friday, I'll share a positive news story that may have gotten lost amid this week's news cycle.  Today's bright spot is this:The podcast NPR Music this week came out with a playlist of songs that listeners say help them reset their mood. For example, one is “Lovely Day” from Bill Withers. One listener said, “I have a dear friend with MS and when I visited him, he played this song every morning. He used it as a daily tribute for the gift of life and it resonated with my soul. The lyrics are spot on for not just living, but living with purpose and gratitude.”If you're already a member of WITF's Sustaining Circle, you know how convenient it is to support programs like this.

Send us Fan MailIn this episode of MedEvidence, host Dr. Michael Koren speaks with epidemiologist Dr. Hannah Gardener about how everyday exposures may influence long-term health outcomes.Dr. Gardener shares her journey from neuroscience and epidemiology training at Harvard to her current work studying stroke, dementia, and environmental risk factors. She explains how personal life experiences sparked her interest in environmental health and led her to examine how early-life and daily exposures can shape disease risk across the lifespan.The conversation explores her research on diet soda consumption and its surprising associations with vascular outcomes, including stroke, heart disease, and cognitive decline. She breaks down what “prospective cohort studies” really mean and how to interpret findings without overgeneralizing results.The discussion then expands to PFAS, often called “forever chemicals”, which are widely used in consumer products and persist in the environment and human body. Dr. Gardener explains where these chemicals are found, what health effects have been observed in the research, and practical, evidence-based strategies individuals can use to reduce exposure.This episode offers a thoughtful, research-driven look at how environmental factors, diet choices, and chemical exposures intersect with long-term brain and cardiovascular health—and what can realistically be done today to reduce risk.Be a part of advancing science by participating in clinical research.Have a question for Dr. Koren?

Jordan Sather and Nate Prince dig into a week that felt like a nature documentary gone wrong. Ticks are surging across the Northeast and Midwest, alpha gal syndrome is quietly making red meat allergies a real and growing problem, and a peer reviewed bioethics paper from Western Michigan University actually argues scientists are morally obligated to gene-edit lone star ticks to spread alpha gal and push people away from meat. No, that is not satire. Meanwhile, the WHO and media are still flogging hantavirus and Ebola, and the Trump administration is still not biting. PFAS contamination sits in over 95% of Americans' bloodstreams, and Jordan breaks down where it comes from and how zeolite may help pull it out. RFK scores the largest autism fraud bust in US history, Dr. Oz keeps hammering Medicare and hospice fraud, and TrumpRx quietly adds 600 more generic drugs. Big pharma is apparently starting to sweat, with mass layoffs hitting Pfizer, Merck, Novo Nordisk, and more.

Today's Headlines: Thomas Massie lost his primary to Trump-backed Ed Gallrein, and Trump followed up by endorsing Ken Paxton over sitting Senator John Cornyn in Texas — picking the very crazy over the more traditional crazy, as is on-brand. Speaking of people who can't stop themselves, Trump demanded a DOJ investigation into Maryland's mail-in ballots over a completely routine reissuing error, because Maryland didn't vote for him and apparently that requires a federal explanation. On organized resistance, the NAACP launched an "Out of Bounds" campaign urging Black athletes to withhold support from college sports programs in states eliminating Black voting representation — a direct hit on the south's most lucrative programs, which should get their attention. Turning to the grift of the week, Trump's $1.776 billion "Antiweaponization Fund" keeps getting worse, with acting AG Todd Blanche confirming January 6th insurrectionists "wouldn't be excluded" from filing claims, P. Diddy's publicist already exploring eligibility, and the whole thing requiring only 2 out of 5 board members to approve any claim with zero fraud recourse — so that's airtight. On the war front, the Senate's war powers resolution finally passed 50-47 on the eighth attempt thanks to three absent Republicans and Bill Cassidy switching his vote the week after losing his primary, while the head of the International Energy Agency warned that global oil supplies are shrinking fast with only weeks of inventory left, right as fuel prices spike at the start of travel season — great timing all around. Closer to home, the Trump administration rolled back EPA limits on forever chemicals in drinking water affecting over 200 million Americans, a Brookings analysis found that roughly 75% of the 100,000 children separated from parents during Trump's immigration crackdown are likely US citizens, and Trump signed an executive order directing banks to vet customers for immigration status — though banks lobbied it down to advisory only, because their money is still green either way. And in the one piece of good news, 30,000 New York City hotel housekeepers secured a contract raising average pay to over $100,000 a year by 2034, which is the most functional thing to happen all week.

The Trump administration is moving to roll back limits on some PFAS, the toxic "forever chemicals" found in the drinking water of millions of Americans. The Biden-era rule set the first national drinking-water limits for several PFAS compounds. But industry groups argued the standards were legally flawed and too costly to meet.

Water is something most of us take for granted. We turn on the tap, and it's just there. But behind that tap is an increasingly strained system that is quietly becoming one of the defining infrastructure challenges of our time. Just in the US, McKinsey estimates we are underinvesting in water assets by about $100 billion annually, with the cost only compounding as more investment is delayed.  The effects are already being seen with over 20% of treated water lost through leaks in pipes that are sometimes 70 years old, generating no revenue for cash-strapped utilities. The record data center and industrial development buoying our economy is now facing major opposition, often due to local water demands. In addition, there are growing concerns and regulations regarding the forever chemicals, known as PFAS, which are showing up in more of our water supply. Today, I'm joined by Guillaume Clairet of H20 Innovation, who has helped build the company into a water treatment powerhouse over the past 25 years. From massive municipal reuse projects to distributed systems serving the critical industrial facilities, H2O is leading the water infrastructure buildout and offers a hopeful outlook on how we can start addressing our water needs. Let's dive in. Links: H20 Innovation Website Guillaume Clairet's LinkedIn Email your feedback to Gil, Guy, Hilary, and Kenny at climatepositive@hasi.com.

MEPs are due to vote on EU chemicals legislation today on whether they should ban PFAS in cosmetic products. Many common makeup products still contain toxic ‘forever chemicals', which do not dissolve, and instead stay in your body for years. Speaking to Anton with more on this was Professor Caitriona Ryan, Consultant Dermatologist at the Institute of Dermatologists.

“Forever chemicals” (PFAS) are everywhere, but how concerned should you really be?In this episode of Nutrition for Noobs, Michelle and Kevin are joined by toxicologist Dr. Deborah Keil to break down the science behind PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances), a group of persistent chemicals found in water, food packaging, cookware and more.You'll learn:What PFAS are and why they're called “forever chemicals”How these substances enter your body (hint: it's not just water)The real health risks, including immune system effects and impacts on vulnerable populationsWhy almost everyone has PFAS in their blood, and what that actually meansPractical ways to reduce your exposure without panicThe role of nutrition and antioxidants in protecting your bodyThis episode cuts through the fear and gives you clear, science-backed guidance on what matters most (and what doesn't) when it comes to everyday chemical exposure.Links:Dr Deborah Keil: www.linkedin.com/in/deborahelainekeil2025Map of PFAS concentrations (for Canada): https://newsinteractives.cbc.ca/features/2025/pfas-canada-map/Please subscribe and drop us a review: your feedback helps fellow noobs find their way to better nutrition.Have a question for Michelle?

You might not know it, but “forever chemicals” are all around us. They can be in products you use or encounter every day, in the soil beneath you, or in the water you drink. While they are helpful, they can also be harmful. In this episode, Frazer-Nash Consultancy expert Lauren Josey walks us through what forever chemicals (PFAS) are, how some of them can affect us, the current regulatory push to avoid harmful PFAS, and how Frazer-Nash and KBR are helping customers navigate new usage rules and embrace environmentally and human-friendly innovation.

Residents, scientists and health professionals are frustrated over how the state is planning to address PFAS, known as 'forever chemicals,' found in North Carolina's waterways. WRAL Climate Change Reporter Liz McLaughlin shares why some say the proposed plan, which includes monitoring PFAS discharge, does not hold those behind the contamination responsible., 

Nearly all Americans have some type of PFAS, commonly known as “forever chemicals,” in their blood. The chemicals, which are linked to numerous health issues, were first regulated in drinking water at the federal level two years ago (though some limits have been rolled back). But, back in 2018, New Jersey became the first state to adopt its own drinking water standards for PFAS. Now, researchers at Rutgers University have crunched the data to see how well it worked. They found that levels of the regulated chemicals dropped by as much as 55%.  Host Ira Flatow talks with the lead author of the study, cancer epidemiologist Hari Iyer about the significance of his findings and his plans to study the possible link between PFAS and prostate cancer.

There are chemicals in your blood that weren't there fifty years ago. They are in the products you use, the water you drink, the food you eat - and for years, almost nobody was told the full truth about the risk.This week, Christiana speaks to two women who found contamination in their communities and refused to accept it.Emily Donovan and Sarah Alexander have spent decades fighting for greater regulation of PFAS or ‘forever chemicals'. Through their work, and the work of many others, some progress has been made on regulation, and on supporting the communities most impacted. But this story is far from over. Because these chemicals don't break down. They move through soil, through water, through the food chain and through us. And the impacts on our health and on our ecosystems are only beginning to come to light.So, with environmental protection rollbacks at the US federal level, can progress endure? And can community action take on the big companies and the big money behind this scandal?This episode is about what happens when institutions fail, what accountability actually requires, and why the clean energy transition is incomplete if we trade one toxic system for another.

If we're lucky, most of us will notice our bodies aging gracefully. But new…

When the first Earth Day was recognized, on April 22, 1970, 20 million Americans – at the time, 10 percent of the total U.S. population – demonstrated in gatherings around the country to protest industrial developments that had led to serious human health impacts. And so began the modern environmental movement. The theme for Earth Day 2026 is “Our Power, Our Planet” – chosen to emphasize that everyone can further environmental progress. One wrong trying to be righted by researchers in UC Irvine's Joe C. Wen School of Population & Public Health involves per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances – a massive group of synthetic chemical compounds that don't break down easily. Known as PFAS, they are pervasive and persistent. The most studied of these “forever chemicals” indicate a toxicity that affects liver and thyroid function, and some have been shown to lead to cancer. In 2019, Scott Bartell, professor of environmental and occupational health, launched the UCI PFAS Health Study after receiving a grant from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to lead California's contribution to a national multisite probe. In this episode of The UC Irvine Podcast, Bartell will share what drew him to the study of environmental contaminants, where PFAS are found and how people can decrease their exposure. He'll also update what his team has learned about PFAS and what work is left to be done, as well as grade how the human race is doing in its efforts to take better care of the planet. “Walking in the Sky,” the music for this episode, was provided by Nico Staf via the audio library in YouTube Studio.
