Forever chemicals are coming into the public spotlight, but one question is being overlooked: Which products contain particularly dangerous PFAS? Based on public information, the following products contain particularly dangerous PFAS: 1. Coated frying pans, especially Teflon pans[5][6] 2. Outdoor clothing and rain jackets[1][2][5] 3. Food packaging, especially coated paper cups and bowls[1][2][4] 4. Cosmetics and personal care products[6] 5. Fatty foods such as meat, dairy products, and fatty fish varieties (salmon, tuna)[4] 6. Drinking water, especially in contaminated areas[1][4] 7. Textiles for furniture[5] 8. Pesticides[5] 9. Firefighting foams[2][5] 10. Baking paper[7] 11. Dental floss[7] Particularly problematic are the substances PFOS (perfluorooctanesulfonic acid) and PFOA (perfluorooctanoic acid), which have been detected in many of these products and are considered particularly harmful to health[1][3][5]. The use of PFOA and PFOS is now largely banned in the EU, but due to their persistence, these substances are still detectable in the environment and in many products[3][7].

The Evangelical Hospital "Paul Gerhardt Stift" in Wittenberg has fallen victim to a serious cyberattack. Hackers encrypted all central servers of the Johannesstift Diakonie, to which the hospital belongs[1]. The attack affected not only the Wittenberg hospital but also eight other clinics in Berlin and Waren (Müritz), as well as other care and health facilities operated by the Johannesstift Diakonie[1]. The police are investigating computer sabotage and extortion. This was confirmed by the Berlin police[1]. As a result of the attack, the Wittenberg hospital had to turn away patients, as the title of the article suggests[1]. The Johannesstift Diakonie is a significant health and social enterprise in the Berlin and Northeast Germany region. It employs over 10,000 people in 60 facilities and nine schools in six federal states[6]. This incident is part of an increasing number of cyberattacks on healthcare facilities in Germany that have been observed in recent years[3][5].

The introduction of the electronic patient record (ePA) in Germany, alongside its expected benefits, also carries several potential risks. These can be divided into several categories: Data protection and data security are at the forefront of concerns. Despite high security standards and encryption technologies, there is a risk of cyberattacks and data leaks[5]. Such incidents in the healthcare sector have already become a reality in other countries. Security researcher Manuel Atug predicts that in the next 5-10 years, German health data could also be stolen on a large scale if the legal framework is not improved[8]. A concrete example of the possible consequences of a data leak is provided by a case from Finland: in 2018, data from a psychotherapy center were stolen there and subsequently used to blackmail patients by threatening to publish the therapy session protocols[6]. The Deutsche Aidshilfe warns of the risk of discrimination through the ePA. It criticizes that the procedure for hiding certain…
