Rain and snow across most of the world contains higher concentrations of perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA), a member of the #PFAS family, than the EPA’s advisory level for PFOA in drinking water. fal.cn/3qKlT

I am retiring from C&EN (Chemical & Engineering News) today after 23 years here chasing #PFAS #climatechange #microplastics and other #environment concerns. After a 6-month hiatus to go #birding, I will reemerge as an independent journalist. It's been a good run!

And a last #PFAS retweet for y'all.
