At Least 45 Percent of US Tap Water Contaminated With PFAS “Forever Chemicals”

So far, the scale of contamination in local water systems and private wells outpaces detection and cleanup efforts.

The United States Geological Survey (USGS) announced on Wednesday that at least 45 percent of tap water nationwide is likely contaminated with one or more type of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances or PFAS, a family of harmful “forever chemicals” that do not break down in the environment and can now be widely detected in water supplies and virtually all of our bodies.
