And while our book may no longer be new news, the forever chemicals issue is not going away. In fact, it’s something i think we’re all going to hear a lot more about in the coming months, years and maybe even decades.

Rachel Frazin @rachelfrazin.bsky.social · 3d

Since publication, we’ve also had the opportunity to use our platform to bring even more awareness about this issue, appearing on TV programs, podcasts and more.

Rachel Frazin @rachelfrazin.bsky.social · 3d

The past six months have been incredibly rewarding. I’ve gotten to meet people who are facing their own pollution challenges, people who are working on solutions to this massive problem and people who have heard very little about this issue but want to learn.
