Ladies and gentlemen news of forever chemicals.

Penguins living along the Patagonian coast of Argentina

can serve as living monitors of their environment.

That happens by attaching small chemical detecting bands to their legs.

It's according to a study from UC Davis and the State University of New York and Buffalo.

For the proof-of-concept study, published in the journal Earth Environmental Sustainability,

I read it for the Staples.

UC Davis scientists outfitted 54 Magellanic penguins with silicon passive samplers placed gently, gently around their legs for a few days during the 22, 24 breeding seasons.

The sensors safely absorbed chemicals from the water, air, and surfaces that the penguins encountered while they foraged to, you know, like feed their chicks, what they do to keep the penguin thing going.

Once retrieved, the samples were sent to the Buffalo Sunni campus for testing.

It revealed that per and polyfluoralkyl substances, your forever chemicals, were detected in more than 90% of the bands, even in this most remote region.

I didn't even know they had a musicians.

No.

Testing revealed a mixture of older legacy pollutants as well as chemicals that replaced the now-phased-out, forever chemicals.

By using a non-invasive sampling approach, we were able to detect a shift from legacy PFAS, those are

forever chemicals, to newer replacement chemicals in the penguin's environment over time,

said the senior author of the study, quote, again, the presence of Gen X and other replacement

chemicals.

They're typically associated with nearby industrial sources,
