PFAS, or per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances, are a group of man-made chemicals used in a wide range of products for their water- and grease-resistant properties. Despite their utility, PFAS are dangerous because they do not break down easily in the environment or the human body, earning them the nickname “forever chemicals.”
Prolonged exposure to PFAS has been linked to serious health issues, including cancer, liver damage, and developmental problems in children. Their widespread use and persistence have led to significant contamination of water sources, making PFAS a pressing environmental and public health concern.
PFAS are being investigated due to their widespread contamination and potential health risks. These chemicals persist in water, soil, and even human blood, with links to cancer, thyroid disease, immune disorders, and developmental issues in children. Their long-lasting presence and bioaccumulation pose ongoing threats. Researchers and regulatory agencies aim to understand their impact, find ways to reduce their presence, and protect public health and the environment.
