A conversation with Craig Butt, PhD, and Christopher Higgins, PhD

Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) are found in many consumer products, as well as in soils and drinking water. These so-called “forever chemicals” earned their nickname thanks to their negligible degradation in the environment. As concerns about PFAS exposures grow, both consumers and regulators alike have begun calling on industry and utilities to reduce or limit PFAS in tap water and commonly used items, such as cosmetics, personal care products, and food packaging.

Water levels in Lake Powell, the country’s second-largest reservoir, are now dangerously close to falling below the openings that send river water to a critical hydroelectric dam. If water is unable to flow through these openings, turbines that serve 4.5 million people with electricity would not be able to function, and the only remaining outlet for Colorado River water would be a set of much smaller bypass tubes.

One of the most critical source water bodies in the country is on a dangerous path toward drying up, as officials recently warned that levels at nearby reservoirs are nearing problematic lows.

Tensions around the availability of drinking water are already high in Arizona and throughout the American Southwest, 98% of which was recently found to be experiencing drought. The water scarcity has prompted Arizona to challenge its domestic neighbors and explore billion-dollar investments.

In one of the world’s driest regions, residents and local officials are increasingly concerned over source water consumption by interests that originate far from home.

Storytelling and science may, at first glance, seem like strange bedfellows. Scientists usually share their research through academic journals and books or at academic conferences. But storytelling is a powerful way to share scientific research with non-expert audiences. Today, stories can be bui...

“More than 110 scientists and regulators worldwide are raising a public alarm over what they label ‘weak’ PFAS drinking water limits proposed by the World Health Organization (WHO), which they charge used shoddy science and ‘arbitrarily’ dismissed hundreds of studies linking the ‘forever chemicals’ to serious health problems,” The Guardian reported. “The limits would allow far more PFAS in drinking water than what is allowed or proposed by the US Environmental Protection Agency, most US states, and some agencies within the EU.”

As consumers continue to call for stricter limits around one of the world’s most notorious drinking water contaminants, researchers have voiced concerns over a major health group’s proposal to curb the problem.
