Research Warns of Surge in Cancer-Causing Forever Chemicals From AI Data Center Build-Out – Common Dreams

Research has identified concerns that the rapid expansion of AI data centers may increase the release of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), chemicals that persist in the environment and have been linked to cancer and other health effects. The study warns that widespread construction and operation of these facilities could significantly boost contamination of water supplies and soil. Scientists are calling for regulatory measures and alternative materials to mitigate potential public health impacts from the AI industry’s infrastructure growth.
