PFAS Contamination: A Serious Water Crisis

A recent study shows 'forever chemicals' (PFAS) are polluting drinking water through treated wastewater.

These dangerous substances, linked to cancer and other illnesses, persist in the environment and our water supply.

Researchers found high levels of PFAS and other organofluorines in wastewater samples across the country.

This widespread contamination highlights the urgent need for better wastewater treatment and stricter regulations.
