While scientific research now draws attention to the danger of microplastics, even to human blood, another sneaky enemy continues to grow silently but dangerously. In fact, it would not be wrong to say that we caused our enemy. Yes, we are talking about chemicals used in items such as teflon pans.
We drowned the world in chemicals
Defined as perfluoroalkyl or polyfluoroalkyl, PFAS chemical is used extensively in non-stick items such as Teflon pans or dental threads. Studies indicate that 12 000 different types of PFAS are present in our daily lives today.

With such intense use, it also affects nature. While 50 thousand tons of chemicals are released into the atmosphere every year, rain clouds also return these chemicals to us. For this reason, rainwater has become undrinkable. Unfortunately, the PFAS chemical cannot be destroyed and is described as a chemical that lasts forever.
US and Chinese researchers have achieved a remarkable solution with the article they published in the journal Science. He succeeded in destroying major PFAS subclass chemicals with sodium hydroxide and dimethyl sulfoxide organic solution. It is stated that the mixture is very effective when heated between 79-121 degrees. The mixture shows its effect in a few days. It has not yet been specified when this solution will reach the final stage, but it has been met with great hope in the scientific world.
