    A town's water is contaminated with 'forever chemicals' - how did it get this bad? PFAS contamination in tap water in Pittsboro.
    Testing by the Guardian and Consumer Reports found high levels of potentially harmful PFAS in Pittsboro, North Carolina, and regulators have struggled to keep pace.

    Jim Vaughn works at the Community Lunch Program at St Bartholomew's Episcopal Church in Pittsboro, North Carolina. He is helping to raise awareness about the town’s water PFAS contamination issue after testing water a the church and finding PFAS in the supply.
    Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are a group of man-made chemicals that includes PFOA, PFOS and GenX. They have been detected in the Haw River in quantities that give concern to nearby residents, especially the in Pittsboro where their water comes directly from the river.

    'It's a toxic blend': where the kids are warned not to swallow the bath water. Predominantly Latino towns in California like East Orosi face huge obstacles getting clean drinking water
    An invisible line splits the rural road of Avenue 416 in California’s Tulare county, at the point where the nut trees stretch east toward the towering Sierra Nevada mountains in the distance. On one side of the line, residents have clean water. On the other side, they do not. On the other side lies East Orosi, an unincorporated community of about 700 where children grow up learning to never open their eyes or mouths while they shower. They know that what comes out of their faucets may harm them, and parents warn they must not swallow when they brush their teeth. They spend their lives sustaining themselves on bottled water while just one mile down Avenue 416, the same children they go to school with in the community of Orosi can drink from their taps freely and bathe without a second thought.
    East Orosi is one of many predominantly Latino communities that suffer from contaminated drinking water that has exceeded federal limits set by the Environmental Protection Agency. This is an issue that affects 5.25m people across California.The farmworking Lopez family hangs out outside their home in East Orosi, California on January 23, 2021. East Orosi's drinking water isn't safe to drink due to nitrate contamination from surrounding farms.
