By NDR, WDR, Süddeutsche Zeitung
A groundbreaking investigation by NDR, WDR, and Süddeutsche Zeitung has revealed the alarming extent of PFAS contamination in Germany, with the toxic chemicals detected at over 1,500 locations.
PFAS, known as "forever chemicals" due to their persistence in the environment and human body, pose serious health risks, including cancer, birth defects, and immune system dysfunction.
The investigation, dubbed "Forever Pollution," involved mapping over 20,000 locations worldwide where PFAS have been detected. In Germany alone, the interactive map shows contamination hotspots in industrial areas, near military bases, and in drinking water sources.
The findings underscore the urgent need for action to address this global environmental crisis. Stay tuned for updates on this ongoing investigation as we uncover the full scope of PFAS contamination and its impact on human health.
