PFOA or C8, is a synthetic chemical surfactant that is often used in the process of making non-stick cookware. PFOA is extremely bio-... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=63175323 |
Gaps in Regulation of Chemical Agents In 1981, two babies of female workers have been found to have eye-related defects. In 1986, Buck Bailey was born with a single nostril, a serrated eye lid, and a keyhole pupil, due to his mother being exposed to PFOA on a daily basis when she worked at DuPont. It was not until the ... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=63175323 |
Gaps in Regulation of Chemical Agents After facing several class-action lawsuits, DuPont paid $43,000 residents of Ohio each $400 to participate in a study to determine whether C8 could be linked to any diseases. Participation in the study also required each person to waive their rights to sue DuPont if no links could ... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=63175323 |
Gaps in Regulation of Chemical Agents EPA has established a health advisory number of 70 parts per trillion for PFOA in drinking water to provide a conservative margin of protection to the most sensitive populations, thus ensuring protection for everyone. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=63175323 |
