Commonly known as “forever chemicals” because they disintegrate extremely slowly, PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances) were initially found in packaging shampoo or makeup but have spread to our entire environment, including water and air. There is nowhere on Earth where the rain would be safe to drink, according to the measurements that we have taken," Dr Ian Cousins, a professor at the university and the lead author of the study published in...

Gates is worth $114 billion, according to Bloomberg, and is one of only eight moguls worth over $100 billion. Gates has made some lavish purchases over the years: He owns a Washington estate worth $125 million, a private airplane, and a luxury-car collection. More recently, he dropped $43 million on a 5,800-square-foot home in Del Mar, California. But these indulgences make up only a fraction of his massive...
