Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that PFAS are found in drinking water?

Multiple sources state that PFAS have been detected in drinking water, including a reference work saying they are widely detected worldwide and a US study reporting widespread presence in public water systems. Several other studies report PFAS detections in tap or drinking water in specific countries.
