Published: 6/15/2025

A recent study found the "forever chemical" TFA in rivers across the UK, except for the River Ness in Scotland. Researchers are concerned about the potential impact of TFA on human health and reproduction. Although there are no current regulations addressing TFA concentrations in water supplies, organizations like the Drinking Water Inspectorate are conducting research to assess the risk of TFA contamination.
