University study questions safety of GenX-like chemicals
News
30 Aug 2019 | The Fayetteville Observer
The study found that various short-chain PFAS chemicals are widely detected in drinking water supplies. It also found that chemicals may harm both human and ecosystem health and that existing drinking water treatment approaches for the removal of long-chain PFAS are less effective for short-chain PFAS chemicals.
