You could have a million wake up calls and the greedy will still sleep.
These chemicals have been found in measurable quantities in the far north of Canada and in the systems of people living there. This shit is pretty much everywhere...as are micro-plastics. >

It’s in the rain water everywhere on earth >

Orcas are on the peak of the food chain.  Even humans won’t eat them. Orcas accumulate all contaminants from all underneath them. >

Humans would, if we could. Whale hunting is hard and illegal in most places. 
Orcas and humans are both apex predators. It's safe to assume what's affecting them is also affecting us. >

Orcas are extremely toxic.  Their carcasses are treated as toxic sites and need hazmat treatment. Bon appetite. >

There's your problem. Orcas should be in the ocean, not in Canada. >

Lol wait what? >

Canadian researchers have discovered high levels of a "Forever chemical", used in making toilet paper, in the bodies of endangered killer whales, sparking fears the toxic substance could further harm them.
Because killer whales, or orcas, sit atop the food chain, they often ingest smaller organisms tainted with the chemical - a phenomenon known as biomagnification, making orcas among the most contaminated cetaceans in the world.
Experts nonetheless worry high concentrations of 4NP, similar to those found in the studied whales, can interact with the nervous system and influence cognitive function as well as affect hormone levels and make the whales more susceptible to illness.
