Major survey of London tap water shows 'forever chemicals' within safe limits
A large study of London's tap water has revealed that trace amounts of PFAS "forever chemicals" are present, but their levels are within U.K. and EU safety limits. The analysis, led by researchers at Imperial College London in 2024, is the largest study of its kind to look at levels of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in drinking water in a U.K. city.
