alex43578: Is this going to be like the micro-plastics-are-actually-contamination-from-lab-gloves news all over again?I'm all for removing PFAS and similar chemicals from the many places and uses they aren't needed, but if people don't care about PFAS in their tap water, they certainly aren't going to care about penguin PFAS.

nslsm: Trust the science.

hvb2: > if people don't care about PFAS in their tap waterPeople don't? Sounds to me like they need to look at history a bit more.To me, this looks very much like some of the other magical materials...Lead in gasoline, asbestos as building material, tobacco etc

giuliomagnifico: [delayed]

progbits: No, they-are-not-actually-contamination. Some studies might have inaccurate numbers due to contamination. That's all.Important to correct for, but doesn't invalidate the whole microplastics concern.
