Genuine question, btw.

The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) on Wednesday introduced the country's first legally-enforceable limits on "forever chemicals," or toxic substances introduced to the water supply through manufacturing. Under the new rules, water utilities will be required to test for and introduce measures to mitigate certain types of chemical pollution entering public waterways.

Forever chemicals, or perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), are a group of over 12,000 pollutants generated during and used for industrial processes. Because they contain some of the toughest known chemical bonds, PFAS are difficult to eradicate. Once they enter the water supply, they become a part of our drinking water and agricultural products, each of which serve as a first-class ticket to the human body. There, they might trigger damage to the reproductive system and increase a person's odds of developing learning disorders and certain types of cancer.
