Did they name one single thing that Teflon and its cousins does that is essential? They were all just "nice to have" conveniences, weren't they?
@starwarsfan4242 Says:
Once again profit is not a relevent metric for how much penalty you should recive the only relevent metric is how much damage you did
@za_hn3000 Says:
7:18 Ainnoway I watched the video this far and realised that the chemical was 'Teflon'
@getbytesize Says:
this one's genuinely unsettling
@maxfilho2676 Says:
This is one of the most shocking stories about human stupidity. Although it is late—after decades of poisoning waters worldwide—something must be done to minimize the damage.🥀
@alexxxxxxxxxx543 Says:
So, if we manage to bond together all the millions of small particles of PFAS that our body has, perhaps we could flush out of our system?

the forever chemicals part is genuinely terrifying

That's why having absolute free market is dumb.

Kinda like the private equity firm you sold your channel to.

These limits were removed in the Trump administration - the argument shared that it was implemented too quickly and were too costly to implement.
@AnthonyMaw Says:
LOL so much for "Better Living Through Chemistry".....Generation X people born in the 1960s received MAXIMUM exposure to teflon, C-8 and PFOAs in their childhood and teen and young adult years.
@JongJande Says:
Banks and corporations are robbing the people blind, poison the planet and the people and create wars as these are so profitable.
Governments are controlled by the large corporations and large banks .....
Police are just scaring normal civilians who do nothing wrong ....
What a terrible mess .....
@MidoDiscovery-g5h Says:
If PFAS are called "forever chemicals," why don't they break down naturally over time?
@larsauswsw Says:
Viewed this video because I thought: Interesting. At the end I was shocked and probably my testicular cancer is linked to that chemical. I drank a lot of tap water. I’m from Germany and never got my blood or water tested before the cancer. Now I will take the tests.

@iwannabeyour1 Says:
What struck me most about this video isn't just the scale of the PFAS contamination, it's the timeline. DuPont and Chemours knew about the health risks for decades before regulators or the public caught on, and the chemicals are now in nearly everyone's bloodstream, including Derek's own. It raises an uncomfortable question about how many other 'safe' materials in our daily lives haven't been properly tested yet, and whether the profit motive built into approving new chemicals will ever catch up. The video does a good job avoiding easy villain narratives too, it shows how gradual and diffuse the harm was, which somehow makes it scarier than a single dramatic incident.
@bernardbierdemann2150 Says:
Dupont also killed many soldiers in NAM with agent orange. Why protect the board of directors from MURDER charges. No we let them keep making billions.
@crutmauler1643 Says:
The PTFE coating makes bullets armor piercing.
@Abuhodyfa Says:
Thank you Vertacium for this wonderful work
And I'm sad for you for the high levels of PFAS in your blood
But don't be sad, my friend, not having a way to get rid of it at this time is not the end of the world.
We have learned in Islam to pray to Allah Almighty to heal our bodies
Who created us and provided for us is able to protect us from these Contaminants
@ifoldkings Says:
Thank you for continued narration by real people

If US regulators were any useful or strict. We wouldn't even reach at this stage at first place.
No wonder why USA is so economically strong, where as EU is not coz of stricter rules.

Things will change only if people stand up and protest and close down these plants. The government will do nothing as they pay them to come into power.

OBAMA EPA CROOKED AS HELL!
@mamu679 Says:
This is exactly the reason to use pure iron pans. I prefer a bit more work to take care of the pans over being poisoned.
@ceezwzrd Says:
28:02 i wonder if calling it gen x is a way of diverting internet searches away from their chemical 🤔
@imanalienshizz Says:
its simple. Humans are a sick species, the amount of greed and destruction we have done to other humans and the planet is beyond sick. We are nothing but PARASITES. Feeding off everything around us and destroying anything that gets in the way.
@williamhardes8081 Says:
My father spent over 30 years as a firefighter, specializing in hazardous and industrial emergencies. Because of this, he spent a lot of time in contact with 3M foaming and flocculent agents. To this day, I still believe that his death from testicular/prostate/kidney cancer was directly caused by long-term exposure to those PFAS chemicals.
