Friend, we have some shocking news for you.

New data released by the EPA shows the PFAS drinking water crisis is much worse than previously thought.

The new data shows that an estimated 26 million people in hundreds of communities have been drinking water contaminated with PFAS. The EPA requires water utilities to test drinking water for 29 PFAS compounds. This initial set of data reveals the presence of PFAS in 431 water systems, but the true scale of the crisis is yet to be known.

We have incorporated these latest test results into our interactive map of known PFAS contamination sites. Be sure to look up your address to see if your water has been tested.

For years, EWG has fought the PFAS contamination crisis, educating the public, advocating for policy change and bringing you the resources you need. But our fight is clearly far from over.

Check out EWG’s latest report on this new EPA data, look up your ZIP code in our interactive PFAS map and explore other resources to protect yourself.
