PFAS "forever chemicals" can be found in drinking water around the world, whether it comes from a tap or a bottle, a new study warns.

As a result, these chemicals can be found in soil, oceans and waterways around the world. Indeed, a 2023 study by the United States Geological Survey found that nearly half of the

Scientists have discovered toxic 'Forever Chemicals' present in samples of drinking water from around the world.

Scientists discovered PFAS (perfluoroalkyl substances), chemicals that do not break down in nature, in more than 99 per cent of bottled water samples sourced from 15 countries around the globe, with 10 ‘target’ PFAS detected in tap and bottled water in major UK and Chinese cities.

Toxic molecules might be extremely common in both tap and bottled water in many places around the world. Analysis of drinking water from 15 countries shows the presence of Perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) and perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS) in over 99 percent of sampled bottled water from Asia,

A new study published in ACS ES&T Water has uncovered widespread contamination of "forever chemicals" (PFAS) in drinking water samples across the globe. Researchers from the University of Birmingham,
