17 Jan 2023 --- Scientists from the Environmental Working Group (EWG), Washington, US, have published a study in Environmental Research revealing that eating one freshwater fish a year is equal to consuming one month of drinking water with PFOS (Perfluorooctanesulfonic acid) – a type of the forever chemical PFAS (Per- and Polyfluorinated Substances) that have been proven harmful. They calculated that one fish equates to ingesting the chemically contaminated water at 48 parts per trillion for one month. PFAS and PFOS in foods and its packaging are significant causes of exposure to these chemicals in American diets.
