Is our tap water safe to drink?

Some Americans questioned that earlier this summer because of reports that nearly half

of the country's water sources may be contaminated with PFAS, better known as forever chemicals,

that have been tied to serious health effects.

But here's the thing.

Our guest experts say the results of this government study were exaggerated or at least not fully

explained in a lot of those reports.

So they're here to break it all down.

Dr. Andrea Love is an immunologist and microbiologist, and Dr. Jessica Steyer is a public health

scientist and health services researcher.

And together, they co-host the unbiased science podcast.

On their show, they provide objective analysis of the public health topics that are most relevant

to our daily lives.

So today, they're sharing what these so-called forever chemicals are, how much is actually

in our drinking water, and what you can do if you're concerned about your exposure.
