Foreign media: Studies show that rainwater should not drink

Reference News Network reported on August 13. According to April 10th report, the latest research report published by scientists at Stockholm University of Sweden showed that the content of influenza/polyfluorane substance (PFAS) of toxic chemicals exceeded the latest of the latest Guidance standards, rainwater on the earth is not suitable for drinking.

Because the decomposition speed is extremely slow, PFAS is usually called "permanent chemical". Such substances originally existed in packaging materials, shampoo or cosmetics, but now spread to the entire environment including water and air.

The first author of the study report and Professor Ian Camer at the University of Stockholm told AFP that according to their measurement data, the rainwater in various places on the planet was not safe enough to drink.

Ka Zess said that his team studied the data compiled by scientists since 2010, and the results showed that "even in Antarctica, the content of PFAS in rainwater is higher than the drinking water guidance standards proposed by environmental protection institutions."

Antarctica is generally considered to be primitive, but the PFAS content in its rain is still "14 times" for drinking water guidance standards.

Ka Zess pointed out that after discovering that PFAS may affect children's immune response to vaccines, environmental protection institutions in some countries have recently adjusted PFAS related standards.

Once PFAS is intrame, it will accumulate in the human body.

Some studies have shown that exposure to PFAS may also lead to risk of fertility, slow child development, obesity, or certain cancers (prostate cancer, kidney cancer and testicular cancer) risk, as well as higher cholesterol levels.
