Ocean spray emits more PFAS than industrial polluters, study finds
Research into release of ‘forever chemicals’ raises concerns about contamination and human exposure along world’s coastlines
Ocean waves crashing on the world’s shores emit more PFAS into the air than the world’s industrial polluters, new research has found, raising concerns about environmental contamination and human exposure along coastlines.
The study measured levels of PFAS released from the bubbles that burst when waves crash, spraying aerosols into the air. It found sea spray levels were hundreds of thousands times higher than levels in the water.
The contaminated spray likely affects groundwater, surface water, vegetation, and agricultural products near coastlines that are far from industrial sources of PFAS, said Ian Cousins, a Stockholm University researcher and the study’s lead author.

Did you all know that toilet plumes are a thing? How many of you flush with the lid closed?
If you have men in the house, chances are your bathroom is covered with specks of urine every where!

Haven't they found just as much shit dust in every room of the house regardless of whether or not the lid gets closed? |
