PFAS in Your Drinking Water

January 15, 2026
By Tracy Abler, Justice Coordinator

PFAS—so-called “forever chemicals”—are a group of synthetic chemicals widely used in plastics and consumer products. They don’t break down easily, they accumulate in the environment, and they’re increasingly being detected in drinking water across the United States. Exposure has been linked to a plethora of human health issues, such as cancer, immune suppression, reduced fertility, and developmental abnormalities.

How many Americans have been potentially exposed to PFAS through their drinking water? How can you avoid these? Hear answers to these questions and more at the Green America webinar, “The Plastic Problem: Solutions for Greener Living,” with live Q&A, on January 22 at 2 pm.
