Dear Green American,

It seems like every day we’re hearing more about how forever chemicals and plastics are impacting our lives and health.

PFAS—so-called “forever chemicals”—are a group of synthetic chemicals widely used in plastics and consumer products. They don’t break down easily, they accumulate in the environment, and they’re increasingly being detected in drinking water across the United States. Exposure has been linked to a plethora of human health issues, such as cancer, immune suppression, reduced fertility, and developmental abnormalities.

How many Americans have potentially been exposed to PFAS through their drinking water? (hint: the answer is in our recent Green American magazine)

⭕ 50 million

⭕ 100 million

⭕ 200 million
