Well before the ban took effect, the “forever chemicals” linked to cancer, birth defects and other serious health problems had tainted drinking-water wells, vegetable roots, beef and milk in Maine.

Microplastics—tiny particles now found in food, water, air, and even human tissues—may directly accelerate artery-clogging disease, and new research shows the danger may be far greater for males. In mice, environmentally realistic doses of microplastics dramatically worsened plaque buildup, altered key vascular cells, and activated harmful genes linked to inflammation and atherosclerosis, all without changes to weight or cholesterol.

They are incredibly difficult to filter out of the water.

Three wells on the property tested above the maximum PFAS contaminant level set by the state of Rhode Island.

Up to $13.6 billion is available from settlements, but key actions to claim funds must be taken by January 1, June 30, and July 30 in 2026.

Two new recently published studies highlight the pervasiveness of PFAS. One study found PFAS in sea foam along the North Carolina coast. Another found PFAS in the blood of some Wilmington residents.

The case could become a template for other communities whose water has been contaminated with the chemicals

Sludge and septage are spread across around half a million acres statewide, but most of it has never been tested for PFAS.

For years, an unlined landfill on FM's Glocester property may have been contaminating nearby wells with PFAS.
