  • As reported by University of Toronto researchers, the chemicals studied in human blood, urine and feces were polyfluoroalkyl phosphate esters (PAPs), which are the breakdown products of the perfluorinated carboxylic acids (PFCAs) used in coating the food wrappers.

  • We’re fast getting used to the acronym PFAS to describe per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances, and the horrifying global environmental legacy trailing in the wake of what are labelled “forever chemicals”. These invisible, hard-to-remove chemicals are in the blood of most people on Earth, as they permeate everyday life and the natural world. Journalist Marina Schauffler zeros in on Maine, the US’s most north-easterly state.
