Chronic underinvestment has left water infrastructure outdated and on the verge of collapse in many places across the country. Lead, per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances known as PFAS, industrial pollution, and agricultural runoff are contaminating the drinking water for hundreds of millions of people - and many don't even know it.
A new study published in Science revealed the presence of chloronitramide anion in U.S. drinking water systems, highlighting the risks posed by previously unidentified pollutants.
The chloronitramide anion was found in samples from 10 chloraminated drinking water systems, affecting over 113 million people, indicating a significant public health concern.
PFAS, often referred to as forever chemicals, have been linked to various diseases, including cancer, liver problems, and hormone disruption, adding urgency to address water quality issues.
