Ocean waves crashing on the world’s shores emit more PFAS into the air than the world’s industrial polluters, new research has found, raising concerns about environmental contamination and human exposure along coastlines. The study measured levels of PFAS released from the bubbles that burst when waves crash, spraying aerosols into the air. It found sea spray levels were hundreds of thousands times higher than levels in the water. The contaminated spray likely affects groundwater, surface water, vegetation, and agricultural products near coastlines that are far from industrial sources of PFAS, said Ian Cousins, a Stockholm University researcher and the study’s lead author. “There is evidence that the ocean can be an important source [of PFAS air emissions],” Cousins said. “It is definitely impacting the coastline.” PFAS are a class of 15,000 chemicals used across dozens of industries to make products resistant to water, stains and heat. Though the compounds are highly effective, they are also linked to cancer, kidney disease, birth defects, decreased immunity, liver problems and a range of other serious diseases. They are dubbed “forever chemicals” because they do not naturally break down and are highly mobile once in the environment, so they continuously move through the ground, water and air. PFAS have been detected in all corners of the globe, from penguin eggs in Antarctica to polar bears in the Arctic.

The seafood you eat is filled with PFAS, as is the water you drink and the air you breathe.

"Thoughts of you whisper in my mind, up from my heart like leaves blowing in a hurricane.. and then they rain from my lips like a waterfall from my brain. Love they say, love and never go astray.. cause at the back of mind, thoughts of you wisp like a soft ocean spray."

I think about you often, you are often in my thoughts.. and my thoughts are seemingly soft as my body slowly rots - eUë

Ocean Spray commercial throwing around the word “power” 6 million times like it’s more than just a silly cranberry juice commercial....

Sometime ago, someone sent me some really nice high-quality watercolor paper. (I still have no idea who it was!) I tried using it and wasn’t pleased with the result so set it aside for a bit. I gave it another crack and I LOVE it now. I dunno what changed. Maybe I got better 😆

I have a few more paintings prepped so stay tuned.
