about PFAS
WHAT ARE PFAS?
Short for per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances, PFAS are widely used, long lasting chemicals, components of which break down very slowly over time.
These “Forever Chemicals” can be found all around us:
In food packaging, clothing, children’s toys, fire fighting foams, and paint.
These chemicals are difficult to avoid and can be found throughout the environment, including air, soil, and water.
