Millions of Americans are drinking water contaminated with PFAS “forever chemicals,” which persist in the body and are linked to cancer, immune disruption, fertility issues and hormone damage.

Filters like activated carbon and reverse osmosis can reduce exposure, but widespread solutions lag far behind the growing public health risk.
