Hazardous 'forever chemicals' in water, food, and air won't disappear with new EPA rules. But 6 simple tactics can reduce your exposure at home.

• Hazardous "forever chemicals" called PFAS are contaminating drinking water, food, and air.
• It may be impossible to completely avoid PFAS, but there are a few simple ways to reduce your exposure.
• Eating at home, ditching nonstick pans and unnecessary carpets, and filtering your water can help.

Hazardous, long-lasting "forever chemicals" are all over our day-to-day environments. The US Environmental Protection Agency just announced it first rules to remove forever chemicals from tap water, but that won't eliminate them from your home.
