Rainwater everywhere on the planet is unsafe to drink due to levels of toxic chemicals known as PFAS that exceed the latest guidelines, according to a new study by Stockholm University scientists.
“We have made the planet inhospitable to human life by irreversibly contaminating it now so that nothing is clean anymore. And to the point that’s it’s not clean enough to be safe”, he said.
“We have crossed a planetary boundary”, he said, referring to a central paradigm for evaluating Earth’s capacity to absorb the impact of human activity.
