A study by researchers at New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT) identified a class of 'forever chemicals' present in both New Jersey tap water and bottled beverages. This discovery highlights gaps in current monitoring systems and suggests potential contamination pathways in consumer products. The research indicates these persistent contaminants are not fully tracked in the market, prompting questions about their introduction mechanisms.
