PFAS found in America’s lakes and streams

PFAS found in America’s lakes and streams

America’s rivers, lakes and streams are places we drink from, fish and enjoy. How widespread is PFAS contamination in these waters, and what can we do about it?

For first time, PFAS traces found in northern Wisconsin wild rice. Researchers said ecological knowledge from Indigenous peoples who have been here thousands of years gave invaluable context for interpreting results. ehsciences.emlnk9.com/lt.php…

We are seeing reports like this all the time. Keeping it out of our drinking water is a start but until we stop widespread use and production of PFAS, the problem will not only continue, but compound over time. thesunpapers.com/2026/10/18/… #Foreverchemicals #pfas #PFOA #PFOS #water

PFAS are resistant to breaking down, allowing them to accumulate within the environment and human body. They have been linked to various health issues.

Instead of ensuring that the 2 most toxic PFAS known to humans are not manufactured anymore in the U.S., this administration thought it better to just change the language on its website But hey, at least really rich people will make even more money 🙄 theguardian.com/environment/…

“If you have a chemical and there’s no safe level of it, then why on earth would you allow it to be manufactured?…This all makes perfect sense if you understand the reality that the EPA is an arm of industry, especially under the Trump administration.” Robert F Kennedy Jr, if he is actually trying to Make America Healthy Again could tackle this by himself by using the FDA to get thr PFAS chemical class out of our food and food containers. But he won’t. Because he is also captured by the chemical industry. theguardian.com/environment/…
