The study revealed that over 99% of bottled water samples contained harmful PFAS chemicals like PFOA and PFOS, raising alarms about drinking water safety globally.
Chinese tap water showed significantly higher PFAS levels than UK water, exceeding EPA health guidelines, highlighting urgent regulatory needs and the risks posed by industry practices.
Researchers analyzed 112 bottled water samples from 87 brands and 55 tap water samples, uncovering widespread PFAS contamination in both categories, thus calling for closer scrutiny.
The persistence of PFAS in the environment along with their association with health risks demands increased monitoring and regulation to ensure the purity of drinking water.
