The Somerset County town of Fairfield remains at the center of the largest state investigation into so-called "forever chemicals."
PFAS compounds are a class of industrial chemicals found in a number of household products. But they don't naturally break down and there's no known way to destroy them.
Tests of private wells show alarming levels of the compounds, linked in federal studies to cancer, low birth weight, and other serious health problems.
