What do new draft guidelines for 鈥榝orever chemicals鈥 mean for Australia鈥檚 drinking water?
The Australian National Health and Medical Research Council (NHMRC) has released draft guidelines for acceptable levels of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in drinking water. These chemicals, often referred to as 鈥渇orever chemicals,鈥 are resistant to degradation and can persist in the environment and accumulate in the human body. The proposed guidelines aim to reduce the maximum allowable levels of four key PFAS chemicals: PFOS, PFOA, PFHxS, and PFBS.
