"One thing about PFAS is that we're in this stage still of trying to understand exactly what it's doing inside of us. There's a certain amount of research that has to happen in order to both convince people that there's a real problem that needs to be solved and clean up what we've put out there. I think that we're sort of in the middle of that arc, and I think that that's the point at which people start looking for solutions," shares Kim Tingley, writer for The New York Times Magazine. Listen to today's episode of The Daily by The New York Times with co-host Sabrina Tavernise for a deeper dive into the history, pervasive presence, and risks of PFAS chemicals: https://lnkd.in/d_ygUPeq Citizen scientists have the power to fill this research gap by collecting data and monitoring efforts and can help push for stricter regulations by advocating for policy changes.
