[QUOTE="Frog4aday, post: 3085550, member: 9308"] [USER=109917]@Darryle[/USER] I feel much the same. What caught my attention was the fact that these chemicals are "forever" (can't filter them out or otherwise remove them) & they are in the water which we can't live without. Man pollutes a lot but most of it is harmless in the big scheme of things. But water is pretty much the one thing we can't live without. We have a finite amount that is available and drinkable. The fish we like to eat swim in it. The birds we like to hunt float on it and eat from it. When we can't eat or drink anything without getting more of these chemicals in our system, it feels like we've crossed a dangerous threshold. Can we live without PFAS? Yes. Can we live with PFAS? Yes. But at what concentration? For how long? How much worse is it for the kids & grandkids than us old folks due to greater concentrations in their little bodies? It kind of freaks me out a little. But I can't fix it or change it. So I live with it, as do we all. But isn't it weird to think that snow goose we killed on our very clean, PFAS-FREE pond or lake will still give us a fresh dose of PFAS because of where it was last week? I hate that. [/QUOTE]
