Химическое загрязнение воды PFAS: карта показывает очаги загрязнения по всему миру

Новые карты, представленные исследователем Филлиппом Граннингером из Университета Мельбурна, показывают, что загрязнение воды “вечными” химикатами PFAS присутствует по всему миру. Эти вещества, известные своими долговечными свойствами, обнаружены в водных источниках и местной фауне.

Согласно картам, самые крупные очаги загрязнения PFAS находятся в США, Южной Америке, Восточной Азии и Австралии. Этот вид химического загрязнения может быть связан с рядом заболеваний, включая рак и проблемы с сердечно-сосудистой системой.

Ученые предупреждают о необходимости принятия срочных мер по очистке воды и уменьшению использования этих химикатов. В противном случае, последствия для здоровья человека и окружающей среды могут быть катастрофическими.
