US EditionPopular Beers Found with High Levels of Dangerous 'Forever Chemicals,' Study Reveals
- A team from the American Chemical Society tested 23 beers in 2024 to detect polyfluoroalkyl substances contamination in U.S. Brews.
- The investigation aimed to determine whether PFAS, known as forever chemicals, enter beer primarily through contaminated municipal drinking water and water treatment gaps.
- Researchers found PFAS in 95% of beers tested, with elevated levels in brews from North Carolina, California, and Michigan, while international beers showed lower PFAS presence.
- Lead researcher Jennifer Hoponick Redmon expressed a desire for the study’s results to encourage the development of improved water treatment methods and regulations aimed at minimizing PFAS contamination in future beer production.
- The study found a significant connection linking PFAS contamination in local water supplies to elevated levels of these chemicals in beer, indicating that enhancing water treatment practices could lower PFAS exposure from beer consumption in the future.
