A study on PFAS exposure in Bucks and Montgomery counties is underway — and early tests have already flagged high levels of “forever chemicals” in some residents’ bloodstreams.

The research is part of a larger, national investigation by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention into the relationship between PFAS exposure and adverse health outcomes. PFAS, short for per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances, have gained attention in recent years for their link to several health problems, including higher cholesterol levels and increased risk of kidney and testicular cancer.
