Levels of ‘forever chemicals’ in dolphins and whales are rising globally

The alarming rise in PFAS levels in dolphins and whales highlights a pervasive environmental crisis. These "forever chemicals" are showing up in marine mammals worldwide, indicating widespread contamination that threatens ocean health and the species that depend on it. This development is particularly concerning because PFAS are known to bioaccumulate and have long-lasting, harmful effects on wildlife and potentially human health, suggesting a broader need for stricter regulations and cleanup efforts to mitigate these pollutants.
