The government promises joined‑up and long‑term regional planning for water. But some pressing challenges appear to receive surprisingly little attention.

The water industry has been left to police its own pollution.

An innovative study mapped preterm births, low birth weights and infant mortality to municipal water wells downstream from PFAS-contaminated sites. The results show the high cost of PFAS harm.

The world’s most widely used weedkiller is confronting legal battles as well as a cat-and-mouse game with nature. But it’s not clear what can take its place.

An inventory of 16,325 known plastic chemicals, including >4,200 hazardous compounds, supports the development of safer plastics.

A group of 20 internationally renowned scientists have issued a strong warning against attempts to narrow the definition of "forever chemicals" in what they describe as a politically or economically motivated effort to weaken regulation of the potentially harmful chemicals. From a report: Per- and p...
