Forever Chemicals Found in Flathead Waters | Bozeman News
Description
Scientists at Flathead Lake Biological Station have detected PFAS and PPCPs—“forever chemicals” and pharmaceutical residues—in nearly every water sample they tested across the watershed, including Flathead Lake, rivers, and creeks. While levels for three PFAS compounds remain below safety thresholds, ten were found overall, and PPCPs were also widespread with no established safe limits. Despite the high cost and complexity of tracking these contaminants, researchers stress the urgent need to continue studying their ecological impact, as what we use and discard can linger in our waterways with long-term consequences still unknown.
