Study Reveals 100 Million Americans Affected by PFAS in Drinking Water, Published Thursday
Oct 24, 2024, 08:05 PM
A recent study has revealed that up to 100 million Americans are living in areas where their drinking water is contaminated with cancer-causing 'forever chemicals' known as PFAS. The study, conducted by the US Geological Survey and published in Science Magazine, indicates that 20% of the population in the contiguous United States relies on groundwater with detectable levels of PFAS. A predictive model suggests that 71 to 95 million Americans rely on such contaminated groundwater. These findings, published Thursday, highlight a significant public health concern regarding the safety of the US drinking water supply.
