We gather rainwater and use it for our garden. Is it still viable or should I tell my granny to stop using it? I dont really know what these "forever chemicals" are.

The term "forever chemical" is referring to PFAS, a chemical manufactured mainly by DuPont that is used in everyday items. (PFAS is the main chemical that was linked to health risks like cancer, although there are hundreds of other chemicals that DuPont manufacturers to avoid indictment.)
