Toxins In Drinking Water Of 15M Nationwide, Study Says.

“A new study released today by the nonprofit Environmental Working Group and Northeastern University in Boston shows harmful types of PFCs, known as PFOA or PFOS, can be found in drinking water systems in 27 U.S. states and in the tap water supplies of 15 million people.” According to the Free Press, “the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, in blood samples taken from about 2,000 Americans in 2003-04, found PFOS, PFOA and other PFCs in 98% of participants’ blood.” The article adds that “a study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association in 2013” demonstrated that PFOA contamination of children’s blood “affected their immune systems, causing routine childhood immunizations for diseases such as measles, mumps and polio to be far less effective.” http://www.freep.com/story/news/2017/06/08/report-toxins-drinking-water-15-m-nationwide/377633001/
