Time for some action. This week on our "forever chemicals" aka PFAs series, get ready to talk about what we can do about PFAs. Can we get rid of them? Can we filter them? Destroy them? Once and for all? Let's find out.

We want to give a  special thank you to Bri McAllister for illustrating molecules for this weeks episode! Please go check out Bri’s art, follow and support her at entr0pic.artstation.com and @McAllisterBri on twitter!
