We can’t see it but there’s a silent killer lurking in our homes. An invisible danger that is found in things we use every day – forever chemicals.
As the name implies, the cancer-causing agents are doing lasting damage to our health and the environment.
Ottawa is now looking at limiting or banning these chemicals and as Brittney Rosen reports, experts say it can’t come soon enough.

Is there an affordable way to test your water to see what chemicals are in there? Toxicologist Dr. Noreen Khan-Mayberry shares that you might want to contact your city to see when the water was last tested. ER physician Dr. Travis Stork shares that when people are afraid of their drinking water, they grab plastic bottles, and it just furthers the problem of putting more plastic into our environment.

North Carolina’s Cape Fear River is a massive water system. It stretches across the lower half of the state, collecting runoff from 29 counties and providing water to millions of people. But in the city of Wilmington, where the river meets the Atlantic Ocean, the water has residents worried.
In a 2019 test of tap water, Wilmington and neighboring Brunswick county were among the top five areas for high levels of PFAS, or per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances — a group of man-made chemicals commonly used for making nonstick or water-resistant products. Now North Carolina is reckoning with the legacy of pollution upstream — and discovering what decades of PFAS contamination means for the rest of the country.

A recent government study estimates nearly half of America’s tap water could contain toxic “forever chemicals” known as PFAS. These chemicals have been used in many everyday items since the 1940s from nonstick cookware to cosmetics to rain jackets. Exposure to them can lead to serious health outcomes. Stephanie Sy discussed the possible health implications and what can be done with Jamie DeWitt.
