Try not to let it get to you- No use worrying over something that already happened which you can't change.

Also, it's in our drinking water currently anyways, so if you want to stress out about PFAS might as well do it over something we can change going forward: https://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-water-foreverchemical...

From the article:

> In 2018 a draft report from an office of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services said the risk level for exposure to the chemicals should be up to 10 times lower than the 70 PPT threshold the EPA recommends. The White House and the EPA had tried to stop the report from being published.
