"The carbon-fluorine bond is the strongest bond in organic chemistry and the many carbon-fluorine bonds in PFAS impart their unique chemical properties." 3M developed PFAS and PFOA chemicals in the ...
In this series, Sharon Lerner exposes DuPont’s multi-decade cover-up of the severe harms to health associated with a chemical known as PFOA, or C8, and associated compounds such as PFOS and GenX.
