Unsafe levels of PFAS "forever chemicals" have been detected in the water systems of several Florida counties, including Polk, Pasco, Manatee, Pinellas, and Hillsborough. Because these toxins are not found in standard water reports, residents may be unknowingly exposed to compounds linked to cancer and endocrine disruption. Immediate testing and mitigation are essential, especially for families with private wells or living near industrial sites.
