PFAS, also known as "forever chemicals," are everywhere, including in food packaging and waterproof cosmetics, and PFAS can linger permanently in air, water and soil. According to the EPA, it's been linked to ovarian cancer, liver damage and developmental issues in children. "They are in a lot of things that we use in daily use," Kristin Tedesco, of the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection, said. "They do not break down so it's very difficult to get rid of them." It's particularly difficult to get rid of PFAS in tap water, which is why, according to Adam Burger of Aqua New Jersey, the utility company decided to construct a new treatment system in Lawrenceville. "When we saw the rising levels in Lawrenceville, we decided to begin the design process and get ahead of it before we were in any danger of violations," Burger said. The new $3 million treatment system is coming just nearly a week after the announced the first national standards to limit PFAS. Aqua New
