Continuing our series on "forever chemicals" aka PFAs, we explore how we got into this situation. Where did PFAs come from? Why were they made? Were there any signs of PFAs being a problem early on? Let's investigate.

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!
