SANTA ANA, CA - APRIL 26: Pouring a glass of water from a kitchen faucet in Santa Ana on Friday, April 26, 2024. According to a study by the US Geological Survey, 45% of the tap water in the United States is contaminated with "forever chemicals" that are considered dangerous to human health. In recent years, studies have found that humans exposed to some PFAS chemicals are more prone to everything from high cholesterol and hypertension to testicular cancer, breast cancer and, for girls, early-onset puberty.
