Rainwater everywhere on Earth unsafe to drink due to ‘forever chemicals’, study finds

Summary by Ground News
Researchers at Stockholm University and ETH Zurich University found that the water is unsafe due to the presence of forever chemicals. The study was published last week in the journal "Environmental Science and Technology". Per- and poly-fluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are a large family of human-made chemicals known as ‘forever chemicals’ because they don’t break down in the environment. They have non-stick or stain repellent properties so can be found in household items like food packaging, electronics, cosmetics and cookware.
