Hyannis residents are being asked to participate in a nationwide study investigating the health consequences of a notorious class of “forever chemicals” in drinking water.

Laurel Schaider, senior scientist and project lead with the Silent Spring Institute, said her team hopes to recruit 700 adults and 200 children who lived in Hyannis between 2006 and 2016. Participants would be asked to answer a questionnaire and provide a blood and urine sample.
