In ___3___ report, a non-profit group says PFAS, sometimes known as “forever chemicals”, are in some of the grease and water-resistant wrappers and fiber bowls ___4___ (use) by many fast-food restaurants.
Consumer Reports says the ___5___(chemical) have been linked to immune system suppression (抑制) and even cancer. Brian Ronholm said “of the products we ___6___(test), most of them had levels above 25 parts per million. Those are pretty ___7___(trouble) readings if you take a step back.
