The expeditions took place far and wide: from China’s Haba Snow Mountains to the Swiss Alps; from the Italian Apennines to the High Tatras Mountains in Slovakia; from the Golden Mountains of Altai in Russia to the stunning Patagonian mountains of Torres del Paine, and from Treriksroset in Northern Europe to Kaçkar Mountains of Turkey. PFCs are already found deep in the ocean, on mountain tops, and within nearly all living creatures. Once released into the environment during industrial production, PFCs persist for millions of years and future generations will continue to be exposed via contaminated water, air and food.In original language:The Great Contaminated Outdoors - Chemie in unberührter Natur – O-Ton Manfred Santen, Detox Campaigner (deutsch)Von Mai bis Juni 2015 nehmen acht Greenpeace-Teams an entlegenen Orten dreier Kontinente, Wasser- und Schneeproben. Ein unabhängiges Labor weist in den Proben aller Expeditionen Spuren von PFC (per-und polyfluorierte Chemikalien) nach, die auch aus der Outdoor-Branche verwendet werden, um Funktionskleidung wetterfest zu machen. Die Beprobung findet weltweit statt: Von Chinas Haba Schnee-Bergen, bis in die Schweizer Alpen - von den italienischen Apenninen, in die Hohe Tatra der Slowakei - von den goldenen Bergen des Altai in Russland, bis in die atemberaubende patagonische Bergwelt des Torres del Paine in Chile und von Treriksröset im Dreiländereck Skandinaviens, bis ins Kaçkar-Gebirge in der Türkei. PFCs sind bereits tief im Ozean gefunden worden, auf Bergspitzen und in fast allen Lebewesen. Wenn sie während der industriellen Herstellung einmal an die Umwelt gelangen, bleiben PFCs für Millionen von Jahren bestehen und kommende Generationen werden ihnen ebenfalls immer wieder durch verschmutztes Wasser, Luft und Nahrung ausgesetzt sein.
