Recent testing reported elevated levels of PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances) — also known as “forever chemicals” — in the drinking water supply serving Concord, according to coverage from WBTV. The findings have raised concerns about long-term exposure for families across Cabarrus County.
What Are PFAS?
PFAS are synthetic chemicals used in non-stick cookware, stain-resistant fabrics, and firefighting foam. They are called forever chemicals because they do not break down naturally and can accumulate in the human body over time.
Health studies have linked PFAS exposure to:
- Increased cancer risk
- Hormone disruption
- Immune system effects
- Developmental concerns
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) recently established new, stricter limits for PFAS in public drinking water due to these health risks.
