World Water Monitoring Day
This World Water Monitoring Day, we’re shining a light on the urgent issue of PFAS contamination.
Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances, aka forever chemicals, are found in everything from fire retardants to water hoses, cookware, and food packaging. While they were initially used because of their water- and heat-resistant properties, experts, policymakers, and communities are increasingly alarmed by their persistence in the environment and potential health risks.
As awareness grows, so does the need for action.
