One of the main sources of PFOA is from microwave popcorn bags, stain-resistant carpets, and water resistant clothing. Dr. Maburyhypothesizes that due to inefficient production methods of microwave popcorn bags, stain-resistant carpets precursor alcohols are off-gas into the atmosphere. These liberated precursor alcohols travel long distances, degrade and form compounds like PFOA which enter the food chain. Research question: 1. Summarize the key issues associated with the use of perfluorooctanic acid (PFOA) 2. Research what position Health Canada and Environment Canada are taking regarding the PFOA issue. 3. Research more information about being an environmental chemist. What are some of the different job positions and environmental chemist would be qualified for.
