Why do so many people get cancer now? Is it because the medical science in the past was underdeveloped and failed to find out?
No! The science is so advanced now! While chemical enterprises benefit mankind, they are also poisoning people.
Teflon non-stick pans are used in almost every household, but people do not know whether it is safe for the human body during the production process, and whether there are any harmful substances in it?
DuPont applied for a patent after accidentally discovering tetrafluoroethylene in the 1930s. It was used to waterproof tanks at first, and it was used to make frying pans in the 1950s, which made huge economic benefits.
In the production process of Teflon, a PFOA or C8 additive produced by 3M Company is used. In a report to DuPont, 3M showed embryonic malformations in experiments with mice. Since then, DuPont has begun to conduct human experiments on company employees. Pregnant female workers gave birth to deformed babies with only one eye and one nostril.
The PFOA or C8 used in the production of Teflon is not easy to degrade. Once it enters the human body, it cannot be excreted, and when accumulated to a certain extent, it will cause cancer. Because DuPont did not properly dispose of these industrial wastes, the pollution caused health damage to the local population. Later medical follow-up experiments proved that 99% of the local people were poisoned to varying degrees.
The incident was triggered by the mysterious death of nearly 200 dairy cows kept by a farmer in Tennessee. Through autopsy, he found that the teeth of the dead cow had turned black and there were malignant tumors in the internal organs. He made a lot of videotapes and preserved a large number of biological specimens. He determined that this was caused by a nearby DuPont waste dump, and began legal proceedings to seek justice from DuPont.
The president of DuPont was so arrogant and unreasonable that he insulted the attorney in public. It's really hard to do a lawyer's business, and you have to constantly struggle between "making money" and "conscience" all day long.
Don't easily believe that everyone has a conscience. There are always attempts to cross the moral line.
Everything that followed shows that DuPont knew from the start the dangers of PFOA or C8. These chemical giants have deep pockets, and they can afford to hire the most articulate lawyers to defend their business interests. They can use the money to fund the election of the legislator, use the money to get the government's environmental protection department, and they are willing to spend a little money to send the victimized people.
The original intention of taxpayers to pay taxes is to spend money to establish a government that can maintain social order, supervise the market with the authority of the government, and give people a living environment in peace and contentment. However, the government is often corrupted by the bribing of enterprises because of its interests, and stands with enterprises regardless of the voice of the people.
If we want to make the environment of this society better, then everyone has the responsibility to withstand the pressure and help those who expose and conceal the truth, expose false lies, and prevent moral corruption. Only in this way can everyone build confidence in society and in the government.
If there was no public resistance, there would be no 2015 US EPA ban on the use of Teflon in civilian products, and no 2017 listing of the main component of PTFE as a carcinogen.
