Hey Folks in the Blogsphere.... check out this story about DuPont Chemical and how it continues to hide the health and environmental dangers of C8 - a chemical that was used to coat our eye glasses, cooking pots and pans and thousands of other objects.
Sharon Lerner's excellent article, in part, says...
"A man-made compound that didn’t exist a century ago, C8 is in the blood of 99.7 percent of Americans, according to a 2007 analysis of data from the Centers for Disease Control, as well as in newborn human babies, breast milk, and umbilical cord blood. A growing group of scientists have been tracking the chemical’s spread through the environment, documenting its presence in a wide range of wildlife, including Loggerhead fastlerner@gmail.comsea turtles, bottlenose dolphins, harbor seals, polar bears, caribou, walruses, bald eagles, lions, tigers, and arctic birds. Although DuPont no longer uses C8, fully removing the chemical from all the bodies of water and bloodstreams it pollutes is now impossible. And, because it is so chemically stable — in fact, as far as scientists can determine, it never breaks down — C8 is expected to remain on the planet well after humans are gone from it."
Please email Ms. Lerner to thank her for her article and ask her what government/corporate group you can email your support to.
