What Is PFAS?
PFAS, or per- and poly-fluoroalkyl substances, are a group of synthetic chemicals that have been widely used in various industries since the 1940s. They’re known for their water—and oil-resistant properties, which make them useful in products like non-stick cookware, food packaging, and firefighting foam.
However, PFAS don’t break down easily in the environment, leading to widespread water contamination that can pose serious public health risks. In New Jersey, MONROE TWP MUA, a water provider, has detected PFAS contamination levels of 28 PPT in their water system.
Exposure to these chemicals has been linked to various health issues, including cancer, developmental problems, and immune system damage. To protect public health, it’s crucial for water providers to monitor and address PFAS contamination.
