PFAS, which includes PFOA, is a group of artificial chemicals used in various industries and consumer products. They’re known as ‘forever chemicals’ because they don’t break down easily in the environment or the human body.
It can pose serious health risks when PFAS contaminates water sources, like the BONDSVILLE FIRE AND WATER DISTRICT in Massachusetts. Exposure to PFAS has been linked to various health issues, including cancer, immune system problems, and developmental delays in children.
