According to a recent BBC study carried out by scientists at the University of Greenwich and Manchester Metropolitan University, almost half of all tap water samples taken from across England contained harmful PFAS chemicals, exceeding European safety levels.

PFAS are man made contaminants found in drinking water and increasing scientific research finds that the UK’s current water purification techniques are inadequately combatting this potentially carcinogenic substance.

Currently, the European Food Standards Agency tolerable limit of PFAS in drinking water is 2.2ng/l and out of 45 samples taken in the BBC study, 25 contained PFASs, and four had levels that exceeded 10ng/l, which, under guidelines from the UK Drinking Water Inspectorate, means local healthcare professionals are required to monitor levels.

Unfortunately, most people are unaware of the healthcare concerns surrounding prolonged intakes of PFAS which include links to high cholesterol, ulcerative colitis, thyroid disease, testicular cancer, kidney cancer, and pregnancy-induced hypertension.
