What’s Australian Story About Tonight Monday 26 September on ABC TV; Mick Tisbury, a firefighter, fought for years to expose a scandalous chemical contamination issue.
He then discovered a way to assist fellow firefighters and members of the public who were at risk of developing serious illnesses as a result of their unintentional exposure despite having no medical training.
The seasoned firefighter and a reporter collaborated to expose the full extent of the abuse of carcinogenic chemicals and toxic firefighting foam containing PFAS chemicals at a volunteer firefighting training facility in rural Victoria.
Mick travelled all the way to Geneva to present his case at the Stockholm Convention of the United Nations for a global PFAS ban.
And along the way, he came up with a brilliant idea to assist people in getting rid of these “forever chemicals” from their bodies.
