Toxic Chemicals Now Found in Ocean Spray
October 24, 2024
A recent study revealed that toxic PFAS chemicals, known as "forever chemicals," are now found in ocean spray, posing health and environmental risks. These chemicals, used in consumer products for their durability, resist breakdown and accumulate in water sources.
Despite its clean image, ocean spray now carries PFAS, man-made chemicals used in various products like non-stick pans and stain-resistant materials. These chemicals have entered the environment through products and fertilizers, eventually leaching into soil and water. Known for their persistence, PFAS can linger in nature for thousands of years, affecting even remote ecosystems like the ocean.
