David Behringer told us, “If you’re drinking water, you’re drinking a lot of TFA". A type of PFAS, classed by German regulators as 'reprotoxic' - potentially damaging to fertility + child development - TFA is produced when F-gases used in refrigeration, or PFAS in pesticides begin to degrade.

⚠️ TFA, a short-chain PFAS, was found in 92% of the samples, often at high concentrations.
