U.S. drinking water widely contaminated with 'forever chemicals': report
WASHINGTON - The contamination of U.S. drinking water with man-made"forever chemicals" is far worse than previously estimated with some of the highest levels found in Miami, Philadelphia and New Orleans, said a report on Wednesday by an environmental watchdog group.
"It's nearly impossible to avoid contaminated drinking water from these chemicals," said David Andrews, a senior scientist at EWG and co-author of the report. In addition, EWG found that on average six to seven PFAS compounds were found at the tested sites, and the effects on health of the mixtures are little understood."Everyone's really exposed to a toxic soup of these PFAS chemicals," Andrews said.
