Fighting ‘forever chemicals’
Jahred Liddie, PhD ’25, discusses his research on PFAS—also known as “forever chemicals” because of their persistence in the environment.
Communities of color disproportionately exposed to PFAS pollution in drinking water
People who live in communities with higher proportions of Black and Hispanic/Latino residents are more likely to be exposed to harmful levels of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in their water supplies than people living in other communities,…
