Wild boar in a European national park have been found to contain levels of toxic PFAS “forever chemicals” nearly five-times higher than is allowed to be sold in meat for human consumption under EU law, according to a new study.
There are more than 12,000 PFAS, dubbed “forever chemicals” due to how long they take to degrade, which are widely used in household products but linked with serious health concerns including cancer, fertility issues and liver damage.
