PFAS: The secret toxins in your body

What does a rain jacket or a pan have to do with our health and environment? A lot. They can contain "forever chemicals” or PFAS, which are seriously harmful and never degrade.

We're destroying our environment at an alarming rate. But it doesn't need to be this way. Our new channel Planet A explores the shift towards an eco-friendly world — and challenges our ideas about what dealing with climate change means. We look at the big and the small: What can we do and how the system needs to change. Every Friday we'll take a truly global look at how to get us out of this mess.
