New study traces PFAS in Great Lakes food webs over 40 years

A recent study by researchers from the University of Notre Dame reveals that PFAS, often called "forever chemicals," have been circulating through the Great Lakes food web for over four decades. The research shows that these chemicals have infiltrated various species, raising serious concerns about their impact on both wildlife and human health. Given that many people rely on these lakes for food and recreation, this study underscores the urgent need for stricter regulations to mitigate the spread of these harmful substances.
