This is the first study to evaluate which biological processes are altered by exposure to a combination of multiple PFAS.

Limited studies have shown that fetal development and cognitive and mental capacity of young children may be altered by PFAS chemicals.

These grants will enable communities to improve local water infrastructure and reduce emerging contaminants in drinking water by implementing solutions such as installing necessary treatment solutions.
