RSS SUMMARY · AGGREGATED FROM USGS

A  U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) study across multiple states has found widespread presence of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in shallow soils in areas not associated with known contamination sources. The scientists also found that areas with lower concentrations in soils could have more PFAS in the groundwater.
