    That actually seems shockingly low if they're in the blood of 97% of Americans. I wonder if it represents some testing error.

    In Texas, more than 420 public water systems have submitted PFAS results to the federal agency and 113 of them detected some level of PFAS in the water.

      Could it be that Texas water systems are mostly pulling from aquifers? We add PFAS to pretty much everything, so even if the soon-to-be-emptied aquifers are pure, nothing else is!
