Our new report shows that previous estimates of the number of Americans exposed to PFAS chemicals were dramatically underestimated. Of the tap water samples from 44 places across 31 states and the District of Columbia, only one location had no detectable PFAS chemicals. Even more alarming, the highest levels of PFAS were found at an elementary school! Check out the full report and find tips to help protect your family from PFAS chemicals.
