A new report's research findings show that around 83% of the 1,602 waterways tested nationwide contained PFAS. Here's where.

Only counting PFAS levels above minimum reporting thresholds could be creating a significant knowledge gap.

Common ways of reporting perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS)—the man-made, so-called forever chemicals that pose environmental and health threats—could underestimate the concentration of PFAS in U.S.…

Ridding the world of forever chemicals could address a range of health and environmental and health woes.

The virtually indestructible Pfas waste puts largely low-income neighborhoods at risk, public health advocates say

Australia is suing 3M over a toxic product that seeped into the ground beneath 28 military sites.

“It seems like they have largely adopted the positions of the chemical industry.”

US Environmental Protection Agency wants to maintain legally enforceable limits on the most-studied types of forever chemicals known as PFAS but would roll back standards established for four other types, including GenX.

EPA's interim guidance on best practices to dispose of and destroy “forever” chemicals highlights widely used technologies, but others need further study.
