Manx Utilities carries out testing quarterly
Regular testing of the Island's drinking water for so-called 'forever chemicals' has shown no cause for concern.
The chemicals, found in household products, don't naturally break down and accumulate in water, soil, and the human body.
The Royal Society of Chemistry in the UK is calling for the current acceptable levels of PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances) to be reduced ten-fold.
Manx Utilities says testing in Manx water is carried out quarterly and has raised no issues - Gareth Patchett is head of water:
