Study Reveals 'Forever Chemicals' Pervasive in Great Lakes Through Air and Rain

Research highlights uniform PFAS levels in precipitation across the Great Lakes, with significant variations in air concentrations.

PFAS, or 'forever chemicals,' are found uniformly in precipitation across all five Great Lakes.
Airborne PFAS concentrations are higher in urban areas like Chicago and Cleveland.
Lake Ontario has the highest PFAS levels in water, while Lake Superior has the lowest.
The northern Great Lakes are accumulating PFAS faster than they can eliminate them.
Further regulation and data collection are needed to address PFAS contamination effectively.
