New Study Reveals Hidden Threat in Drinking Water
A recent study by the University of California, Irvine, has confirmed the presence of PFAS, or "forever chemicals," in the drinking water of Orange County, California, sparking concerns about residents' health.
The study, which analyzed data from 2000 to 2019, found that PFAS were first detected in the water in 2013, after the EPA began requiring testing. PFAS have been linked to various health issues, including:
- High cholesterol
- Decreased immune system response
- Decreased vaccine response
- Increased risk of kidney, prostate, and testicular cancer
The study's findings support these established links, with data from the Irvine Ranch Water District (IRWD) showing a PFOA level of 14.8 parts per trillion and a PFOS level of 22.
