Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are widely used in consumer and industrial products but have subsequently raised concerns about their toxicity. To evaluate factors influencing PFAS concentrations in drinking water and to estimate human exposure, ten PFAS were measured in tap water from the...
The Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC) is calling on the UK government to reduce the current cap on individual per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in drinking water from 100ng/l to 10ng/l, warning that levels above this pose a significant risk to public health.Chemistry world group...
In collaboration with the University of Greenwich and Manchester Metropolitan University, the BBC took 45 samples from tap water at various sites in England, none of which exceeded the 100ng/l recommended by the DWI. Nevertheless, of the 25 samples tha...

“This will reduce exposure for many millions of people in the U.S.,” says Bartell. “But keep in mind that cities have five years to comply, so if I had PFAS in my tap water, I wouldn’t wait to filter it out.” “There are still few federal standards to protect the public fr...
The forever chemicals do not break down in the environment, meaning they seep into soil, groundwater and rivers and creeks. As many as 200 million Americans are exposed to PFAS in their tap water, according to a peer-reviewed 2020 study. “Pervasive PFAS should...
