Testing Reveals Widespread Contamination
There have been alarming levels of PFAS in tap water samples across different regions worldwide. Tap water tested in the United Kingdom’s West Midlands and in Shenzhen, China, found PFAS chemicals in every sample analyzed, though concentration levels varied. Similar investigations in the United States found these compounds in tap water all over America. One notable study found PFOA exceeding safety thresholds in tap water samples from China. This clearly indicates that the problem transcends borders and affects all water systems worldwide. The prevalence of PFOA suggests that most people have had some level of exposure through their tap water, one way or another.
