A recent Oxford-led study finds alarming levels of PFAS chemicals in Norwegian Arctic ice, posing risks to wildlife and ecosystems.
On this edition of Your Call’s One Planet Series, we discuss a recent study led by an Oxford University team of scientists that has detected alarming levels of PFAS compounds in Norwegian Arctic ice, threatening the entire food web and wildlife, including caribous, seals, plankton, and polar bears. PFAS is a class of about 12,000 chemicals used to make hundreds of products that are resistant to stains, heat and water. The problem is, they don’t break down naturally in the environment. That is why they are called 'forever chemicals.'
