The Great Contaminated Outdoors - PFC Animation
Eight Greenpeace teams travelled to well-known remote areas across three continents to collect water and snow samples, and test them for PFCs, the hazardous chemicals used to make outdoor gear waterproof.
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.

Chemie in unberührter Natur - PFC Animation
PFC-Animation für den Webfilm ""The Great Contaminated Outdoors"" Hintergrund: 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. PFC reisen mit der Atmosphäre und den Meeresströmungen auch in abgeschiedene Gebiete. Sie bleiben über viele Jahrzehnte in der Natur und reichern sich durch Trinkwasser und Nahrung auch im menschlichen Körper an. Seit 2011 will Greenpeace deshalb mit der Detox-Kampagne Textilhersteller überzeugen, auf derartige Risiko-Chemikalien zu verzichten. Die Ergebnisse der Expeditionen werden in dem am 8.9.2015 erschienenen Report „Chemie in unberührter Natur“ veröffentlicht.
