"As an occasional brew drinker myself, I wondered whether PFAS successful h2o supplies was making its mode into our pints. I anticipation these findings animate h2o attraction strategies and policies that assistance trim the likelihood of PFAS successful aboriginal pours," probe pb Jennifer Hoponick Redmon said.

"Our findings bespeak a beardown nexus betwixt PFAS successful drinking h2o and beer, with beers brewed successful areas with higher PFAS successful section drinking h2o translating to higher levels of PFAS successful beer, showing that drinking h2o is simply a superior way of PFAS contamination successful beer," the probe squad concluded.
