They’re everywhere, they don’t break down naturally, and they cause disease: per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) “forever chemicals”.
What you can do:
- Waterkeeper Alliance: Tell Congress to Pass the Clean Water Standards for PFAS Act!
- EWG: Ask Congress to Stop the Spread of PFAS Contamination!
- WWALS: sign up for testing of private wells.
