The report analyzed the first Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) update since President Donald Trump returned to office.
"Forever chemicals," or per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), are chemicals that do not break down easily and are linked to cancer and other health risks. These substances are found in everyday items such as non-stick cookware, food packaging, firefighting foams, and water-resistant clothing. As these products degrade, the chemicals leach into the soil and water, eventually entering the human bloodstream.
