I am a chemist who researches PFAS, the class of compounds contaminating raid water in that infamous article. I would be happy to answer any questions about them.

Big point, pollution does impact us on a global scale.

*rain water. Fuck I hate autocorrect.

how do I live without the harmful chemicals?

Shut up homosexual moron imbecile cunt no one gives a shit about your dumb opinions on anything

is that organic acid?

>that infamous article
which one?

Depends on your definition of organic. This compound is not natural but most chemists would consider it an organic compound because it contains mainly carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, and fluorine.

Stop buying products with them in it. Stick as close to traditional ways of cooking/cleaning as possible. In reality though, you cannot.

How close is the EPA to defining a method and limits?

This one:
pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/acs.est.2c02765

There have been lots of articles in the mainstream media about it.

They already have. There are several methods for these.

However, we are still far away from being able to chemically identify all PFAS. We can do it well for ones we have analytical standards for.

What percent of PFAS are removed by simple distillation

Kay. Hello to you too!

Is this different than the thousands of scary studies that make a firestorm for a few days then disappear because the results weren't as conclusive as we were led to believe?

A small amount. The reason for that is it binds really strongly to the water molecules. It is like how you cannot get 100% pure ethanol from distilling mash.

The only way to remove it from water sources is electrolysis (which just breaks it into smaller pieces or removes some fluorine) or to use activated carbon. Places in Michigan that are heavily polluted use large amounts of active carbon to make the water safe. However, the PFAS are still in the carbon...

are there any residential home set ups that can filter this shit out?

No it is not that different. However the scientists in this study looked at rainwater in many different locations. One of the biggest things is that the EPA has lowered the limit.

The majority of studies I see are not just rainwater but are also surface waters, waste water, farm runoff, deer serum, etc all show high levels of PFAS. If you live in urban Michigan, or anywhere in Delware/New Jersey you are pretty much fucked.

Everyone on the planet as these chemicals in them (even before they are born).

DOW was forced to remediate some homes/drinking water. You can get active carbon for your homes. Honestly if you are outside the largest contamination zones and your are rural, you most likely do not have to worry.

If I boil the water will that decontaminate it?
If so how long should it be boiled for?

This "raid water" or whatever you guys are calling it

Do these oxidize or mineralize naturally at any point?

>pollution does impact us
the 'proof'?
>everyone is fat, sits inside, and has low testosterone
which is a side effect of lifestyle not microplastics

Yes, it's organic. Just because you don't like calling it that doesn't change the principles of chemistry. I wonder how often you get bullshit in your head like that.
>"it depends on YOUR truth."
Like fuck it does. A simple glance tells any chemist worth their salt that it's an organic compound. Prefacing a simple "yes" with that shit damages your credibility as a man of science.

We need to get some of this raid water over to turkey because there's an epidemic there right now

Astronomers call everything heavier than helium a metal, including oxygen. But if I called oxygen a metal in this context, that wouldn't really be correct.

LFG RAID WATER

Will a 0.1 micron water filter remove these?
