HOW DO THESE CONTAMINANTS GET INTO SCHOOL WATER?
- PFAS: These contaminants enter water supplies through industrial runoff, firefighting foams, and various consumer products. They can travel long distances and accumulate in water systems.
- Lead: Leaches from old pipes, solder, and plumbing fixtures, especially in schools built before 1986.
- Microplastics: Shed from synthetic textiles, degraded plastic products, and packaging. They are widespread, even found in rural reservoirs, and can carry other pollutants.
