In the ‘PFAS Cover-up’ Zembla uncovers what PFAS-producers DuPont and 3M knew of the dangers of their chemicals.

Based on hundreds of internal company documents, Zembla reveals that DuPont knew for decades that the PFAS they used were dangerous and were spreading throughout the environment. Confidential memo’s, meeting reports and handwritten notes show that, going back as far as the early 60’s, the industry was well aware of the risks its invention posed for human health and the environment. Shockingly, the primary concern voiced in DuPont's files was the firm's own wellbeing: maintaining profits and avoiding legal liability.

• The PFAS Scandal:

In the Dutch 🇳🇱 province Zeeland the water has become so highly contaminated with toxic PFAS chemicals that fish from these waters can no longer be safely eaten. PFAS, also called ‘forever chemicals’ because they hardly degrade in the natural environment, can be hazardous to human health, even at very small amounts.

A scandal arose when it became known that a factory of the chemical giant 3M in the neighboring Flemish city of Antwerp 🇧🇪 had been discharging huge amounts of PFAS chemicals into the water, thereby also polluting the downstream waterways of the Dutch Zeeland province. But even though the 3M factory was shut down, PFAS concentrations in Zeeland have not been declining. Zembla follows the PFAS trail and discovers another major source of PFAS pollution.

• Report: Up to 110 Million Americans Could Have PFAS-Contaminated Drinking Water
  

PFAS do not naturally break down in the environment over time. Their resistance to decay is what makes them useful. It’s also what makes them dangerous.

In 1938, a scientist at DuPont De Nemours and Company, commonly known as DuPont, discovered the first PFAS chemical that would be widely used by Americans in the home — Teflon, the patented name for the type of forever chemical that makes certain cookware nonstick. But the multinational chemical conglomerate 3M quickly became the nation’s chief producer of PFAS. The company manufactured the chemicals for use in its own products and sold them to other chemical companies, like DuPont, for their products, too. PFOA, PFOS, and the thousands of other obscurely named acronymic chemicals under the PFAS umbrella were added to millions of products Americans used — and still use — on a regular basis: pizza boxes, seltzer cans, contact lenses, dental floss, mascara, rugs, sofas.

3M started winding down PFAS production in the 2000s under pressure from the EPA. The company recently announced that it will cease production of forever chemicals entirely by 2025. But the hundreds of millions of pounds of the chemicals the company produced for more than half a century still persist, indefinitely, in the environment. They’re also lingering inside of us: in our blood and our excrement, primarily via the foods we eat and the water we drink.

A growing body of research on the health ramifications of years of sustained exposure to PFAS paints a frightening picture: The chemicals have a disturbing affinity for blood. Once they find their way to the bloodstream, they stick to blood cells as they course through every organ in the body. Studies show PFAS weakens immune systems and contribute to long-term illnesses like diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and cancer — specifically, testicular, kidney, and prostate cancers.

A recent study linked PFAS in drinking water and household products such as food packaging to startling decreases in fertility in women. Studies on prenatal and childhood exposure to PFAS show adverse developmental effects, including low birth weight and accelerated puberty.



Residents living near a 3M factory have their blood taken to test for the presence of PFAS.

Since Stuart’s water crisis in 2016, the body of research illuminating the harmful health effects of PFAS has become more robust, prompting the EPA to take more forceful steps to limit consumer exposure to these chemicals. Earlier this year, the EPA proposed a set of new guidelines for six PFAS, including PFOA and PFOS. Unlike its 2016 health advisory standards, these limits — 4 parts per trillion, down from 70 ppt — are enforceable, meaning that water-supply managers must adhere to them or face fines. It’s the first time the agency has taken such a step, a move that underscores just how poisonous the EPA believes PFAS to be, even in minuscule amounts. The decision to regulate PFAS represents a huge win for public health. That win will come at a cost.

The new standard, once it becomes official later this year, will trigger a nationwide effort to rid drinking water supplies of forever chemicals. The projected costs of eliminating PFAS from the water supply are astronomical, beyond the scope of what cities, utilities, and the average consumer can afford. Preliminary estimates suggest that the price tag on filtering forever chemicals out of America’s drinking water is more than $3.8 billion per year. That cost will get passed on to consumers, unless the companies responsible for creating the contamination in the first place are forced to pay. That’s where Stuart’s lawsuit against 3M comes in.

What EPA Has Learned So Far

• PFAS are widely used, long lasting chemicals, components of which break down very slowly over time.
• Because of their widespread use and their persistence in the environment, many PFAS are found in the blood of people and animals all over the world and are present at low levels in a variety of food products and in the environment.
• PFAS are found in water, air, fish, and soil at locations across the nation and the globe.
• Scientific studies have shown that exposure to some PFAS in the environment may be linked to harmful health effects in humans and animals.
• There are thousands of PFAS chemicals, and they are found in many different consumer, commercial, and industrial products. This makes it challenging to study and assess the potential human health and environmental risks.
• Learn more about our current understanding of PFAS.

What We Don't Fully Understand Yet

• EPA's researchers and partners across the country are working hard to answer critical questions about PFAS:
  • How to better and more efficiently detect and measure PFAS in our air, water, soil, and fish and wildlife
  • How much people are exposed to PFAS
  • How harmful PFAS are to people and the environment
  • How to remove PFAS from drinking water
  • How to manage and dispose of PFAS

• This information will help EPA and state, local, and tribal partners make more informed decisions on how best to protect human health and the environment.
• Learn more about how we are increasing our understanding of the health risks of PFAS.

The new film “Dark Waters” tells the story of attorney Rob Bilott’s 20-year battle with DuPont over contaminated drinking water in West Virginia from toxic chemicals used to make Teflon. The Environmental Working Group credited Billot with “uncovering the most heinous corporate environmental conspiracy in history,” and the issue of contaminated water from the plastics industry continues to devastate areas across the country.

On Wednesday, the Environmental Working Group released a shocking report about how toxic fluorinated chemicals known as PFAS have been found in the drinking water of dozens of U.S. cities, including major metropolitan areas including Miami, Washington, D.C., and Philadelphia. The so-called forever chemicals are linked to cancer, high cholesterol and decreased fertility, and they do not break down in the environment.

We speak with attorney Robert Bilott, who has just published a new book titled “Exposure: Poisoned Water, Corporate Greed, and One Lawyer’s Twenty-Year Battle Against DuPont.”

He is portrayed by Mark Ruffalo in the Hollywood film “Dark Waters.” We’re also joined by Tim Robbins, Academy Award-winning actor and director, who plays Bilott’s boss at his law firm in “Dark Waters.”

The company responsible for toxic PFAS chemicals being a part of our everyday lives has agreed to a massive settlement with cities and municipalities that could provide some relief for residents that have been consuming the toxic chemicals. This fight is far from over, but this is a huge win for the plaintiffs. Mike Papantonio & Farron Cousins discuss more.

*This transcript was generated by a third-party transcription software company, so please excuse any typos.

The company responsible for toxic PFAS chemicals being a part of our everyday lives, has agreed to a massive settlement with cities and municipalities to give those folks relief. Full disclosure, that was my settlement. $12.5 billion, me and three other law firms negotiated that. But, you know, Farron, I started with this case seven years ago. Actually, you were following this case back then.

Yeah. It is quite remarkable, especially to see this settlement happen and you've been at the forefront. I can't stress that enough to people to really understand this. This is an issue that has enveloped your life for a decade now.
Yeah.

Every day. This is something you have worked on. I've seen you, I've watched you. We've discussed it. And these chemicals, as we've said a hundred times on this program, they're everywhere. And we're just now starting to see a little bit of justice with this. So, you know, since you've got the knowledge of all of this.

I'm glad talking about it. Yeah. Lay this out.

Well, I started with this case, me and Gary Douglas, a New York lawyer and a law firm up there that we do a lot of work with. We did the opioids with them, we launched the opioids case too. People don't realize that because we don't talk about it much. I mean, the opioids case end up settling for $42 billion. Now, first of all, everybody says, well, Pap, my God, you're making all this money. Well, you know, we don't keep $42 billion, and I don't keep $12.5 billion that we settled the PFAS case with. But what we do is we're able to do what government failed to do. Okay. We're able to do what, well, what media failed to do. The best part, to me the most disgusting story of the whole PFAS, the $12.5 billion settlement that I just settled, is that the corporate media wouldn't tell the story, you see.

Because so much advertising dollars was going in into MSNBC, CNN, CBS, ABCs, they refused to tell the story. As a matter of fact, one time I was actually on the air getting ready to tell the story. It was with Ed Schultz and the story was stopped. It was stopped. You can't tell this story. And so had we not worked at this for six years, seven years, none of this would happen. We'd still have PFAS in the drinking water. We can clean it up a lot. It's in the environment for 1 million years. So the problem is this, if you have a river and you have PFAS that's moved into the river, even if you scrape the soil down to try to get rid of some of it, it still recharges itself. So because of that, there has to be really, really good filtering system at the drinking water source.

So this allows the municipalities and some of these folks, and by the way, this is, you know, the projection is that this could be as many as $30 billion worth of a problem. But we made the first step. I started with DuPont in, with DuPont, I guess three weeks ago, four weeks ago, settled for $1.4 billion. And then 3M came in and they came to the table. They said, well, we gotta fix it after a lot of years, us beating the hell out of them. And, so anyway, we're making progress. And that's what corporations should do. You know, a responsible corporation says, look, we got this problem, it's not gonna go away. We made some bad mistakes. The people making these decisions for them now, they're not the people who made the decision to put this in the environment.

See, that's a great point. I was actually just about to bring that up, because the people who did this, the people who actually said, yeah, go ahead, dump it out there. They've been gone from the company for decades, some of them.

Unbelievable Amounts Of Nano & Microplastics Found In Deceased Human Brains - Concentrations Rose by 50% between 2016-2024. The Rise Of Human Cyborgs: Instead Of Superintelligence We Get Dementia?

"This week a study published in Nature has been making the rounds. I picked this link from the Smithsonian who interviewed the scientists. Nano and Microplastics, aka self assembly nanotechnology polymers were found in devastating amounts in the human brain, more so than in other organs. Nobody is putting 2+2 together, and asking if the COVID19 bioweapons and Geoengineering operations have anything to do with is. Geoengineering has been going on for 30 years with poisonous polymers being sprayed - and I have previously shown the patents that polyethylene which the scientists also found in the brain as the main polymer plastic - it has been sprayed for weather modification.

If you look at the brilliant punctuate lesions and you look at my microrobots, they are the same. But what specifically has been introduced in the last few years that could increase the amounts of plastics seen in brains by 50%? The COVID19 bioweapon. I have shown that since 2007 it has been known that Polyethylene Glycol can cause all of the polymer plastics hydrogel and micellar construction zones. I have shown the article and images here:

I have been showing the polymer microplastics that self assemble in the blood extensively. Of course when they are still at a smaller scale they can pass the blood brain barrier. Nano and microrobots are known to do so for drug delivery.

What are the odds that these filaments that have been documented around the world after the COVID19 bioweapon injections are the nano and microplastics that are now found and accelerating the aging and dying process in our population?

Read what the scientists are saying about the “unbelievable” microplastics.

The Human Brain May Contain as Much as a Spoon’s Worth of Microplastics, New Research Suggests
The human brain may contain up to a spoon’s worth of tiny plastic shards—not a spoonful, but the same weight (about seven grams) as a plastic spoon, according to new findings published Monday in the journal Nature Medicine.

Researchers detected these “almost unbelievable” levels of microplastics and nanoplastics in the brains of human cadavers, says study co-author Andrew West, a neuroscientist at Duke University, to Science News’ Laura Sanders. “In fact, I didn’t believe it until I saw all the data.”

Based on their analysis, the amount of microplastics in the human brain appears to be increasing over time: Concentrations rose by roughly 50 percent between 2016 and 2024.

The researchers also found much higher levels of microplastics in brain tissue than in liver and kidney tissue. And microplastic concentrations were also higher in the brains of deceased patients who had been diagnosed with dementia compared to the brains of deceased individuals without dementia.

Importantly, the study finds only a correlation between high levels of microplastics in the brain and dementia—it does not establish a causal relationship. It could be, for instance, that changes resulting from dementia make it easier for microplastics to accumulate in the brain. However, the researchers say their findings are troubling nonetheless.

“I have yet to encounter a single human being who says, ‘There’s a bunch of plastic in my brain and I’m totally cool with that,’” says study co-author Matthew Campen, a toxicologist at the University of New Mexico, in a statement.

Microplastics and nanoplastics are miniscule plastic fragments that result from the breakdown of everyday objects like packaging, containers, clothing, tires and more. These small particles have spread all over the planet, from Mount Everest to deep in the Mariana Trench. They’ve also made their way into the human body, showing up in blood, baby poop, lungs and placentas.

In September 2024, these miniature pollutants were also discovered in the human olfactory bulb, a type of brain tissue that sits above the nose in the forebrain. At the time, researchers weren’t completely sure whether microplastics could migrate deeper into the brain.

The new paper suggests they can. First, researchers analyzed brain, kidney and liver tissue from patients who had died in 2016 and 2024. For broader context, they also studied brain tissue from patients who had died between 1997 and 2013. Some of the brains came from patients who had been diagnosed with dementia.

They found much higher levels of microplastics in the 2024 brain tissue, on average, than in the 2016 brain tissue, regardless of the patient’s age, sex, race, ethnicity or cause of death. Their findings suggest microplastic levels in the brain have grown by roughly 50 percent over the last eight years. This increase makes sense in the context of plastic production, which doubles every 10 to 15 years, reports the Washington Post’s Shannon Osaka.

“We think [the increase] is simply mirroring the environmental buildup and exposure,” Campen tells National Geographic’s Olivia Ferrari. “People are being exposed to ever-increasing levels of micro and nanoplastics.”

Microplastic levels were 7 to 30 times higher in the examined brain tissue than in the liver and kidney tissue.

Microplastic concentrations were also three to five times higher in the brains of patients with dementia, compared to cognitively normal brains. It’s not clear whether microplastics may cause or contribute to dementia, nor whether dementia-induced changes to the brain might allow more microplastics to enter.

More broadly, the potential health consequences of microplastics remain largely unknown. Some recent research, however, suggests they are likely harmful to the human body. A study published in March 2024, for example, found that patients with higher concentrations of microplastics in their arteries were at a higher risk of heart attacks, stroke and death.

Now that microplastics have been found deep in the human brain, the next steps will be to explore what effects, if any, they are having on human health.

Future studies might also investigate how microplastics and nanoplastics are making their way into the brain in the first place, a feat that remains a mystery. Researchers are also curious about the unusual shapes of the plastic particles they found in the brain: thin, sharp shards, rather than the smooth, bead-like shapes they had expected.

“Somehow, these nanoplastics hijack their way through the body and get to the brain, crossing the blood-brain barrier,” Campen tells CNN’s Sandee LaMotte. “Plastics love fats, or lipids, so one theory is that plastics are hijacking their way with the fats we eat, which are then delivered to the organs that really like lipids—the brain is top among those.”

In the meantime, the world might want to consider “mitigation measures” to help minimize microplastic exposure, says Emma Kasteel, a neurotoxicologist at Utrecht University in the Netherlands who was not involved with the paper, to National Geographic.

“We don’t know that much about the health effects, but the fact is that [microplastics] are [in the brain] and they shouldn’t be there, and maybe that’s worrying enough,” she says.

Humanity is under assault, and this continues silently as people bioaccumulate polymer hydrogel plastics from many different sources - the COVID19 bioweapon roll out and self assembly nanotechnology needs to be strongly considered as a causative agent. Clifford Carnicom and I found that polyenes ( polyethylene), polyvinyl alcohol, and polyamides all are found in COVID19 vaccinated and unvaccinated blood."
