A recent study published in the journal 'Environmental Science and Technology' found rainwater is no longer safe to drink anywhere on Earth.

Researchers at Stockholm University and ETH Zurich University found that the water is unsafe due to the presence of forever chemicals, which have been found in remote places like Antarctica and on the Tibetan Plateau.

According to the study, the rainwater contains per- and poly-fluoroalkyl substances , human-made chemicals used in various consumer and industrial products.“Based on the latest U.S. guidelines for PFOA in drinking water, rainwater everywhere would be judged unsafe to drink," said Ian Cousins, the study's lead author.
