Forever Chemicals Indianapolis Water

‘Forever chemicals’ were found in Indianapolis’ tap water. Here’s why that matters.

A family of synthetic chemicals, which for decades have been found in everything from food packaging to stain-resistant carpets and are associated with a list of health problems, have now been found in Indianapolis’ drinking water, a report says.

The long-lasting “forever chemicals” also known as PFAS showed up in Indianapolis tap water at a level of 15 parts per trillion, according to a study by the Environmental Working Group, a national research and advocacy organization.
