Evaluation of Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substance (PFAS) Levels in Drinking Water: A Study of Riverside Municipal Wells.
Article in Cureus, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) seem to be in every aspect of our modern-day life. PFAS chemicals manufactured by DuPont and 3M are found in our food wrappers, pots, pans, firefighting foam, and anything nonstick. The abundance of these chemicals raises concerns about the contamination of our drinking water sources. Since these chemicals get washed up by rainwater runoff, they ultimately end up in our groundwater sources. Once in our groundwater, the PFAS-contaminated water gets pumped up by wells utilized for our drinking water. In this project, our team looked at the contamination of these chemicals in our local community. Our team collaborated with local officials to gain access to sample the Garner C well, the Twin Springs well, a local private well in our community, and the Palmyrita treatment plant, where we measured both the influent and effluent water. Our team then conducted tests on each water sample to determine the amount of perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA), perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS), perfluorobutanoic acid (PFBA), perfluorohexane sulfonate (PFHxS), perfluorononanoic acid (PFNA), perfluoroheptanoic acid (PFHpA), and perfluorodecanoic acid (PFDA) in each of our samples using Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) 533 rules and procedures. Using the tests from the Palmyrita treatment plant, we determined how effective Riverside's treatment process is for removing PFAs across its water. This paper is intended to inform individuals how to test and sample for PFAS from their local wells and educate readers on PFAS contamination in the Riverside Municipal area. This study aims to quantify PFAS levels in Riverside Wells and evaluate the effectiveness of local water treatment processes, especially activated carbon filtration.
