Sydney’s water supply continues to test positive for “forever chemicals” Perfluoroalkyl and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS), days after authorities warned that a city beach would be tested for the potentially cancer-causing substance.

The New South Wales (NSW) Environment Protection Authority said on Jan. 8 it would test Tower Beach, in Botany Bay, on concerns about PFAS, which can accumulate in plants, animals and people.
