'Forever chemicals' are in nearly all waterways in Pennsylvania and New Jersey, report shows

Recent reports indicate that PFAS, known as forever chemicals, contaminate nearly all tested waterways in several states. In New Jersey, these substances were detected in 91% of waterways, while Pennsylvania saw contamination in 96%. In Minnesota, 100% of tested waterways showed PFAS presence, including 39 locations along the Mississippi River. Consequently, an environmental group in Minnesota is calling for policy changes to address the widespread presence of these chemicals in the regional water systems.
