The forever chemicals, or PFAS, are especially high in species that eat fish. The review titled, “ Raptors as Sentinels: Unveiling the Environmental and Health Risks of Pfas Contamination ,” provides a comprehensive analysis of the current scientific data on per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS),
