概要

We live in a watery world; 71% of Earth is covered in water. But humans have polluted Earth’s water for decades with pollutants like plastic, oil, and drugs. Marine chemist Chris Reddy guides us through what happens to the ocean during human-caused spills – from the Deepwater Horizon oil spill to the X-Press Pearl plastic spill – and how the ocean recovers.

But our oceans aren’t the only waters at risk of human-caused pollution. Analytical chemist Carrie McDonough transports us to the water in our taps and the ‘forever chemicals’ lurking in them. She demystifies PFAS chemicals, explaining where they come from, where they end up, and the dangers they pose to our environment and human health. This episode is a whirling adventure through the world of water, including the analytical tools chemists use to study it and the looming public health threat of polluted water.
