While we’re all exposed to some degree, who’s most at risk of being harmed? The Union of Concerned Scientists found that communities of color and low-income communities are more likely to bear the economic and biological burden of the federal government’s lack of responsiveness to community concerns on this toxic class of chemicals.

Dr. Phil Brown talks PFAS contamination and ongoing research
News
23 Oct 2019 | Northeastern University
“It’s a big deal,” Brown says. “You put all this together and it’s the biggest chemical contamination issue in many, many years.” The important part, he says, is to regulate these chemicals as a class, rather than individually. Otherwise, each of the roughly 4,700 chemicals would need to be investigated separately, even if they had only minor molecular differences. And since the health effects are long-term problems like cancer, these studies could take decades.
