Inside Your Health: Forever Chemicals

PFAS, or forever chemicals, are linked to some serious health risks, and earlier this month the EPA released new data on PFAS in our water supply.

Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances, more commonly known as “forever chemicals” or PFAS, have been linked to some serious health concerns.

KSTP health expert Dr. Archelle Georgiou joined 5 EYEWITNESS NEWS to talk about how we can all decrease our exposure to PFAS in the meantime.
