A new study conducted by researchers at Emory University in Georgia has detected a "more toxic" type of PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances) known as "forever chemicals" at high levels in US homes for the first time. These shorter-chain versions of PFAS, which were introduced as a replacement for longer-chain versions due to health concerns, are believed to be more difficult to filter out of water and pose a greater risk to human health. The study found that between 70 to 100 percent of PFAS detected in samples from 80 homes in Indiana were the short or ultra-short-chain versions. PFAS has been linked to cancer, infertility, and other health problems, and further research is needed to understand the health effects of these smaller versions.
