Clean Drinking Water

A recent study on PFAS contamination in drinking water highlights the significant health risks posed by these "forever chemicals" that disproportionately affect low-income and communities of color. PFAS have been linked to various health problems, including cancer and developmental issues, and their persistence in the environment makes them especially harmful. Communities already struggling with poverty often face inadequate access to clean water, exacerbating the impact of PFAS exposure. The study points to a critical need for better regulations and infrastructure investment to ensure that all communities, especially those most vulnerable, have access to safe, clean drinking water. Addressing this issue is not just about environmental justice; it's about protecting the health and well-being of underserved populations who are most at risk. Read the report HERE.
