PFAS in rainwater: What it means for health
*For many years, per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) — or “forever chemicals” — entered the natural environment, contaminating soil and water sources.
*New research from Stockholm University found that the levels of PFAS in rainwater now exceed levels deemed safe by health and environment advisory agencies.
*People should be aware of how PFAS may impact their overall health and take precautions to have their drinking water tested as necessary.
*Because these synthetic chemicals pollute the natural environment, including drinking water, research links PFAS exposure to health issues including liver damage, women’s fertility issues, gestational diabetes, and certain cancers.
