Listen to story—Megan Romano, an associate professor of epidemiology, is quoted in episode four of a series on PFAS contamination in New Hampshire municipal water supplies about how "forever chemicals" behave inside the body. "We think this is part of why PFAS seem to affect so many different aspects of health, because they are able to kind of hang out in the blood. And that allows them to reach many, many target organs and affect many different places in the body, as opposed to really congregating in one section or another," Romano said.
