South Carolina’s Pocotaligo River has been found by Waterkeeper Alliance to be the most polluted with hazardous per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in the country. The findings have implications for the health of residents who fish from the river, as well as rivers downstream. “The high levels of PFAS in the Pocotaligo River are very […]
It’s no secret that smoke and other contaminants from wildfires can pollute the air, soil and water during and after a blaze burns out. But now, scientists are warning that wildfire pollutants can continue to contaminate local waterways for up to eight years after a wildfire event. In a new study, led by scientists at […]
