U.S. water utilities will be required to remove certain "forever chemicals" from drinking water as the Biden administration sets first-ever limits on perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl compounds, better known as known as PFAS. Nearly all Americans have PFAS in their bloodstream. Thetoxic chemicalsa...

With the health issues associated, and the occurrence in water systems, action should be taken to reduce PFAS in drinking water. Despite the adverse health effects associated with PFAS, the Environmental Protection Agency has not yet set enforceable limits for the chemicals in drinking water. ...
Products that have been made stain- or water-resistant, such as carpets and upholstered furniture Are PFAS chemicals in your water? PFAS have water- and oil-repelling properties. Because of this, higher levels may be found in water supplies near places that make, dispose of, or use PFAS. ...
“PFAS”, are man-made chemicals that include PFOA (Perfluorooctanoic Acid) and PFOS (Perfluorooctane Sulfonate). These chemicals are also commonly described as POPs (persistent organic pollutants) or “forever chemicals” because the robust nature of their structure means they remain in the ...
and many other everyday objects. As things stand, the Drinking Water Inspectorate (DWI), which has jurisdiction in both England and Wales, holds to guidelines which state that in drinking water, the presence of PFAS chemicals must be restricted to le...
Prof. Jörg Drewes, Chair of Urban Water Systems Engineering, emphasizes the great social significance of the research results: "PFAS pose a constant threat to public health. For too long, the negative effects of the chemicals, which, among other things, ensure that rain jackets are waterproof...
Often called “forever chemicals” due to their remarkable persistence in the atmosphere, PFAS are a group of well over 4,000 synthetic chemicals created for a variety of purposes. Click to read more...
