Overlooked Forever Chemicals Discovered in New Jersey Water
Recent research conducted by scientists at the New Jersey Institute of Technology has uncovered a widespread presence of previously overlooked per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances, commonly known as forever chemicals, across various water sources in the state. The findings reveal that these persistent environmental contaminants are not only present in municipal tap water systems but also in commercially available bottled beverages, prompting renewed scrutiny over current water monitoring protocols and safety standards.
