Metro Areas Weigh In on “Forever Chemicals” Story

Metro Areas Weigh In on “Forever Chemicals”

What if H2O isn’t the only acronym in your water? PFAS are hidden chemicals that linger in the water supply, but many Americans aren’t aware that they exist, even after taking a big gulp of them.

To find out, WaterFilterGuru.com surveyed 1,000 metropolitan residents about their perceptions of water quality and identified the cities and states with the highest concentrations of PFAS.

The bad news is PFAS aren’t going anywhere; the good news is that it’s possible to reduce your risk of exposure.
