Sky News host James Macpherson says the Biden administration has recently passed legislation to ensure levels of forever chemicals “don’t exceed four parts per trillion in drinking water”.
Australian health department ‘looking again’ at levels of chemicals in tap water
Mr Macpherson said a report out this week states that forever chemicals are “allowed in Australia’s tap water” at “140 times the maximum level now considered safe by the United States”.
Forever chemicals are called that because they “never break down in the environment and they take years to leave the human body”.
“The forever chemicals … are known to cause serious illnesses such as cancer and birth defects.
“The Australian health department says they’re currently looking again at the levels of chemicals in tap water”.
