According to the study done by the Ecology Center, Friends of the Rogue, and the Huron River Watershed Council, researchers collected more than 100 fish from 15 sites along the Huron and Rouge rivers.
 

A report by the Guardian on Friday (February 24) said that PFAS are a class of 12,000 compounds that are used to make products resistant to water, stains and heat. They are known as "forever chemicals" as they do not naturally break down and have been linked to serious health problems in humans such as cancer, high cholesterol, and liver and kidney disease.
