轉承詞

Right now we're all on edge because of the coronavirus.

but, you know, what helps me sleep at night

is remembering that there are a million other things

or that suicide pact I made with my best friend in high school

luckily, the U.S. government recently took action

to cross one potential killer off the list.

is targeting PFAS chemicals in its new proposal

linked to serious diseases like, oh, cancer,

And guess what? They never, ever, ever degrade.

In fact, they're known as forever chemicals.

NEWSWOMAN: They're so prevalent, CDC scientists believe

Yeah. Apparently, there's a group of chemicals

And because they're impossible to break down,

It sounds like something from an old-school R&B song.

Well, let's find out in another installment

Now, forever chemicals might be with us until the end of time,

but they were only engineered by scientists

it seemed like they would only change the world for the better.

NEWSWOMAN: PFAS chemicals were first discovered in 1938

They were used a few years later in the Manhattan Project.

NEWSWOMAN 2: What make PFAS so useful in manufacturing

The fluorine atoms just so happen to fit perfectly

that resists things like heat, oil and water.

that are water, heat and grease resistant.

They're used to repel water, grease and oil

from carpets to clothing to nonstick cookware.

to keep things like food, oil, and moisture

which-- you can't deny-- is really useful.

I mean, like, I don't want to get cancer,

but, at the same time, have you ever tried scraping eggs

when I was just like, "Ugh, I'd rather be dead!"

was discovered by scientists entirely by accident,

which always amazes me that they can do this.

Like, scientists are always making one thing

but then they discover something totally different.

You know? I mean, like, I've done the same thing in my life.

Like, one time, I was trying to create dinner for my girlfriend,

but, instead, I discovered that she didn't love me.

I-I guess, in a way, me and Stacy were also nonstick.

these forever chemicals have tons of uses.

Uh, they were even used in the Manhattan Project

a general was like, "Did you discover a way

to defeat the Germans?" And the scientists were like,

Now, forever chemicals would be incredible

Unfortunately, they just can't seem to stay put.

So, once they're made, they just accumulate in the environment.

they end up in our food, and they end up in us.
