Udgivelsesdato: Sep 26, 2022

Firefighter Mick Tisbury spent years fighting to uncover an alarming chemical contamination scandal. Then, with no medical training, he found a way to help fellow firefighters and members of the public who were at risk of severe illness as a result of their unwitting exposure. The experienced firefighter worked alongside a journalist to reveal the full extent to which carcinogenic chemicals and toxic firefighting foam containing PFAS chemicals were misused at a volunteer firefighting training facility in rural Victoria. Mick went all the way to the to the United Nations Stockholm Convention in Geneva to argue for worldwide bans on PFAS. And on the way, he has come up with an ingenious solution to help people rid their bodies of these "forever chemicals".
