❕Topic: What’s with PFAS?❕

👩🏾‍🔬 Have you ever heard of this term?? If not listen in 💚 if you have still listen in ☺️

👩🏾‍🔬 PFAS are a family of thousands (~4700) of chemicals used to make water-, grease-, & stain-repellent coatings for a vast array of consumer goods and industrial applications—first introduced into the environment in 1946 when DuPont introduced “Teflon” (PFOA) coating to the world. 🌎

You know here at @theblackgirlscientist we believe Knowledge is POWER & that it only takes one small thing to live more sustainably 💚 we are so excited to kick off these segments especially given our upcoming BGS DETOX 2024 initiative

🤍 Simple ACTION-One Small Thing to-do:

Swap ONE current non-stick cookware with a cast iron or stainless steel piece

If you eat out, immediately remove food from the wrapper/packaging to limit PFAS exposure

Switch to a non-stick airfryer (ex. BigBoss glass air fryer) Are there any questions you want answered?! What other topics do you have questions on?
