Women are at a much greater risk of health problems than men because of the harmful 'forever chemicals' lurking in nearly half of the drinking water throughout America. According to a report, women with elevated environmental exposure to per-and polyfluoroalkyl chemicals (PFAS) were up to twice as likely as men with those cancers.

30 common household items such as glass cleaners, stain removers, and air fresheners were tested by researchers at the Environmental Working Group. The scientists found that only one of the volatile substances, or VOCs, were released, with others releasing hundreds of hazardous VOCs with every spray, which can lead to respiratory difficulties, cancers, developmental delays, and reproductive problems. The researchers' findings were regarded as a 'wake-up call' for consumers, who said that people should be'more aware' of the dangers of chemicals in indoor air.

When performing on stage, he disguised as a dustman, survived being hit by a bus and emerged with a 2:2 degree. King Charles' time at the University of Cambridge was certainly memorable, but it was also disappointing academically. Prince of Wales, who first studied archaeology and anthropology before moving to history, was at Cambridge from 1967 to 1970, becoming the first heir apparent to earn a degree. Charles' bodyguard, who was expected to attend all of his lectures, passed the same exams and received a higher mark, according to an unproven legend of his time in the museum. Despite the truth of the allegation, Charles later stated that he 'enormously' enjoyed his time at Cambridge, which included his appearance in the famous Footlights (left, dressed as a dustman). During a return to the city in 2016, Charles stunned an audience by announcing that he was struck by a bus while riding his bike as a student and admitting that he had no idea how he had survived.

Residents of a new housing estate say they are 'in a state of uncertainty' over allegations that their homes may be worthless and could be torn down, considering that they may not have been constructed without valid planning permission. Homeowners on the 263-home Coppenhall Place development in Crewe are angry that their homes are built on potentially contaminated property, limiting their ability to sell or re-mortgage their homes. According to the row, there is currently no planning permission for the 263-home Coppenhall Place extension on a former Bombardier train factory site in Crewe, Cheshire.

Since they do not normally break down, PFAS have been discovered in horses, dogs, pandas, sea lions, wild boar, and even oysters around the world. PFAS pollution is not limited to humans.' It's a species problem around the world,' said David Andrews, a senior scientist with the Environmental Working Group (EWG), which commissioned the study and generated the map. According to the'sobering' report, the extent to which harmful PFAS are likely sickening animals the world over is unknown, with liver disease, cancer, kidney disease, foetal problems, and other common health problems in humans have been reported.

According to a review, eating just one freshwater fish a year is the equivalent of drinking water with 'forever chemicals' for a month. Perfloroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl derivatives - or PFAS - have many uses in society, but they have also been connected to cancer and other health conditions. 500 samples of locally caught fish fillets from bodies of water around the United States were examined by researchers from the Environmental Working Group (EWG). According to the researchers, eating the contaminated fish amounts to drinking water with a PFAS concentration of 48 parts per trillion, which may be harmful. The average level of total PFAS in the fish was 9,500 nanograms per kilogram, but this increased to 11,800 nanograms per kilogram for those in the Great Lakes. This is 280 times more than the number of commercially caught and sold fish. To get the same amount of PFAS from one meal of freshwater fish, one would have to purchase and eat fish from the supermarket for a year.
