Residents living near the AGC Chemicals manufacturing plant in Thornton-Cleveleys, Lancashire, have reportedly been found to have elevated levels of a cancer-causing “forever chemical” (PFAS) in their blood. My heartfelt thoughts are with the residents of Thornton-Cleveleys and the wider Lancashire community affected by these findings and the concerns surrounding potential PFAS exposure. For anyone affected, or worried about what these findings may mean for their health and cancer risk, access to clear, evidence-based information and appropriate medical advice is essential.
