PFAS Contamination General - We're all Mudbloods now

[poopshoes]

I've just accepted it call me whatever you want but humanity (and all unknowing other life forms on Earth AND Earth itself) have been infiltrated by plastic. It is in our DNA now, in every facet of existence it is inescapable it's in the air the earth the water here there everywhere. It's the same shit as the industrial revolution with smog but just more insidious and invisible and everlasting. It's even in our balls man, it's in our balls. It's over.

Skipping the "lol bloodletting, what, are we gonna use leeches next" initial response, could this realistically work with dialysis?

From what ive seen it kinda works, but its not really the dialysis itself. Since dialysis patients are being stabbed a couple times a week, the inevitable bits of blood loss build up over time, making it similar to bloodletting.

In the blood, PFAS mostly bonds to albumin, a protein. And since dialysis is trying to filter out larger molecule toxins while conserving proteins, blood cells, etc. Most PFAS slips through the net.

Also funny enough leeches are indeed used in modern medicine, mostly to remove pooled blood from reattached limbs and such.

Nawww humans are hard to get rid of, more than likely some fkn eskimo group is going to have some weird gene that happens to make them extra resilient to PFAS, and they'll be more productive than other groups.

Or we'll all just eventually evolve ways to filter out PFAS naturally within our bodies, but thats thinking very long term. Id rather try some solutions now

Also whoever put the thread in the front page rotation thing thanks so much

I dropped about 12,000 USD to convert to a whole house RO system earlier this year. I primarily did it because the water in my area is super hard. Reading stuff like this affirms my purchase. Now I get great tasting water out of every faucet in my house and I’m fighting against this bullshit.

The airforce firefighting equipment contaminating the groundwater where i grew up probably was a contrubitor to me having had leukeamia, couldnt attend a clinic to get tested due to been bedridden on the cancer ward when they were doing it

lol i got fucked up by USAF firefighting contamination too but i just have fucked up stomach diseases not canceraids. maybe in the future though
