Cancer-causing "forever chemicals" from pesticides, fertilizer and common household products were in samples of beets, carrots and other vegetables purchased at Long Island farms, according to a new Stony Brook University study.

The synthetic chemicals, known by the acronym PFAS, have been linked to a range of health problems, including kidney and testicular cancer, liver damage and developmental delays in children. They are here to stay — unseen and ubiquitous, but eventually ending up in the food supply — unless state and federal leaders work to pass legislation aimed at removing PFAS in the manufacturing of everything from clothing to cookware, the authors of the study said.
