Recent data from the EPA reveals that almost half of US #tapwater could contain dangerous '#foreverchemicals' known as #pfas. This initial testing, part of an extensive effort to check US #watersystems, found that water for up to 26 million people in hundreds of communities has measurable levels of PFAS. Exposure to these chemicals over time is linked to serious #healthrisks such as #cancer, #reproductive issues, and #developmental problems in #children.
The #usgovernment must act now to set enforceable #drinkingwater standards. Immediate action is vital to ensure all Americans have access to #safe, #clean drinking water.
