PFAS - The inescapable Toxin - with Marina Schauffler

PFAS - The inescapable Toxin - with Marina Schauffler

Forever chemicals are contaminating our air, our water, and our food supply. The State of Maine is showing what can be done about it. In the news this week, Patti and Doug talk about new research on prenatal exposure to Wi-Fi radiation and its impact on neurodevelopment, and how data centers powering AI are driving a massive increase in the use of fossil fuels to produce energy. Then author Marina Schauffler joins the conversation to talk about her new book “Inescapable: Facing Up to Forever Chemicals” about how her home state of Maine has responded to the environmental and health crisis caused by farmers spreading sewage sludge laden with these hazardous chemicals.
