The chemicals are PFCs (perfluorochemical compounds) which bio-accumulate in living tissue and do not break down in the environment. PFCs tend to concentrate in blood and liver tissues of fish and mammals, with those concentrations growing each step up the food chain. The PFCs found in the latest study were manufactured by 3M, which used the chemical in nationally distributed products, such as Scotchgard, Teflon, Stainmaster and Gore-Tex. While 3M began phasing out use of the chemical in 2000, it has already spread worldwide. Through 2002, 3M dumped as much as 50.000 Bounds of the chemical uer year into the Mississiuui River from its I Discussins no!: available on http://www,peer,org/ EE TLLL) eT searces.. - [ESRB 22008833..00000055 OS (oveERE IGN Mean FFlluuoorroocchheemmiiccaall CCoommmmunuincicaattiioonnss AAccttiivviittiieess:: GGeenneerraall AApppprrooaacchh .
