Synthetic microplastics and PFAS "forever chemicals" now contaminate water, food, soil, and human bodies worldwide, with detectable PFAS in the blood of nearly the entire population and growing but still uncertain evidence of chronic health harm.

Microplastics and PFAS now contaminate water, food, soil, and the bodies of virtually everyone on Earth, yet the quantified health burden and cost-effective interventions remain underdeveloped. This founding report assembles what is known about exposure and harm, distinguishes the chemical-pollution problem from infectious water risks, and prioritizes the research and regulatory steps that would most reduce uncertainty and exposure.
