PFAS - "Forever chemicals" in drinking water | DW Documentary

It’s one of the biggest environmental scandals ever to hit Germany. In 2012, a routine inspection uncovers industrial chemicals, known as PFAS, in the drinking water of the southern German town of Rastatt. Only gradually does the extent of the problem become clear. The chemical finds its way into drinking water supplies. Olaf Kaspryk, head of the Rastatt public works department, goes in search of clues. It takes time to gather samples and conduct blood tests.
