Per- and polyfluoralkyl substances (PFAs) are compounds that have become known as âforever chemicalsâ due to how difficult they are to break down.
The USGS found somewhere between 71 and 95 million people in the United States could be drinking water contaminated by PFAs.
Florida and California have the most people whose public water supply could be contaminated, at 9.5 and 13 million people, respectively.
