The findings reveal how pollution in municipal water supplies can infiltrate popular products, raising concerns for both consumers and brewers.

Oh, PFAS, yeah. We passed the planetary boundary with that a few years ago.
Here’s a map of the known concentrations in the U.S. But they’re in everything now, including our blood.
Oh thank God I live in a healthy area.
I’m just not going to go anywhere else ever again.
Don’t worry! It’ll be coming soon!
Donate blood! It lowers your levels!
