Original: PFAS chemicals found in over 90% of waterways tested in Pa. and NJ, study finds
A new study has found PFAS, so-called forever chemicals, in more than 90% of waterways tested across Pennsylvania and New Jersey. The findings raise concerns about long-term exposure to these persistent industrial compounds, which have been linked to health risks, and add to pressure on regulators and water suppliers in the region to address widespread contamination.
Why now: The scale of PFAS contamination revealed across two populous states has renewed public concern about drinking water safety.
