What Is PFAS?
PFAS, short for per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances, are a group of artificial chemicals widely used in various industries since the 1940s. They’re found in many consumer products, such as non-stick cookware, food packaging, and stain-resistant fabrics.
The problem is that these chemicals don’t break down easily and can accumulate in the environment and our bodies over time. This concerns PFAS water contamination, as seen with the Middlesex Water Company in New Jersey. The detection of PFAS at 29 PPT is a severe public health issue.
