Forever chemicals in Philadelphia, Montco creek
The state is warning anglers not to eat fish from the Wissahickon Creek basin due to high levels of a so-called forever chemical . The big picture: Harmful per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances ( PFAS ) are a class of man-made chemicals used in nonstick and fire-resistant products. It's becoming nearly impossible to avoid those harmful and extremely durable chemicals, which have been linked to cancers, as well as immune and developmental damage in children.

Similar state advisories to not eat fish are currently in place in several other Pennsylvania
