PFAS: The Here & Now

The subject is quite Important and has almost been presented in a popular manner. More such lucid presentations are required for public awareness especially in developing nations.

Thanks for posting. These chemicals and plastics will cause exponentially worsening damage in individuals, then to society.

Dr Mukherjee, thank you….I’m speechless, and the societal (leadership) deafness/compliance is hugely disturbing - despite the obvious urgency. We keep on hearing about the ‘medical’ miracles ai will bringforth, are you contemplating utilising these technologies in your remediation/removal work?
