At least one water system in every state across the U.S. contains forever chemicals known as PFAS, according to the Environmental Working Group. PFAS are widely-used chemicals present in everything from cosmetics to fast food wrappers. They also don’t break down in the environment.
Because they stick around for so long, low levels of PFAS can be found almost everywhere – in water, soil, wildlife – and in us. In fact, the CDC found that these chemicals are in nearly everyone’s blood. PFAS exposure has been linked to a host of health issues including cancer and birth defects.
A new advisory from the EPA effectively eliminates any safe level of PFAS found in water. But how do you get rid of them? And what do you need to know to keep yourself safe?

"What household products contain PFAS?
PFAS are known as "forever chemicals" because they linger in humans and the environment.
They can increase the risks of some cancers, low birth weight, and problems with the immune system.
Nonstick cookware, stain-resistant sprays, and water repellent gear might contain PFAS.

YuuP...
The original lawsuit was dismissed over technicalities so a settlement was offered and they get to continue putting it in and on stuff.
Animals would include cows, so the stuff is in beef and milk.
Growing hemp would actually help clean up toxins, but it's still classified as cannabis by the federal government and left to the states to decide. The states decided a different route regarding cannabis though and the us is still importing it despite the fact that it's used in just about everything too.
After the end of WWII, the money machine had to keep on chomping...

Lies and they get to keep telling them.
The lawsuit uncovered how hot Fairborn, Ohio is and is worth the free testing the case is offering.

You are most welcome.
That stuff leaks into the ground water and WPAFB sits right in the middle of Green County, Ohio.

Lead is a tough issue to deal with when it is in our most basic infrastructures that have never been replaced because nobody thought ahead about a chemical reaction to bleach running through it.
Arthur Anderson *an accounting firm* set up a shop near me for a major data dump that I was hired to scan through the document scans. I was scratching my head why an accounting firm would be conducting a data dump of scientific information until I realized it was for the first EPA suit.
They all know what they are doing...
