A “forever chemical”, which Europe’s chemicals regulator says may damage babies in the womb and is suspected of harming fertility, has been found in rivers and groundwater across England, according to Environment Agency data obtained exclusively by Watershed and Unearthed.
The highest concentration of forever chemical TFA in surface water was found in the River Ancholme in Lincolnshire. Image credit: Richard Croft
