A concerning study reveals the presence of trifluoroacetic acid (TFA), a 'forever chemical', in almost all UK rivers tested.
Researchers from York University found TFA in 98% of the 32 rivers sampled across all four nations of the UK.
This persistent chemical, slowly breaking down in nature, raises concerns about its potential long-term impact on human health and reproduction.
While current health risks are considered low, ongoing research is crucial to assess the long-term effects of this widespread contaminant.
