What Is PFAS?
To understand the health risks this contamination poses, let’s examine what PFAS chemicals are and their potential impacts.
PFAS, or per- and poly-fluoroalkyl substances, are a group of artificial chemicals used in various industrial and consumer products. They’re known for their water—and grease-resistant properties. However, PFAS don’t break down easily, earning them the nickname ‘forever chemicals.’
When these substances enter the environment, they can contaminate water sources, including drinking water systems. We’re seeing this with the detection of PFOA and PFOS in the water provided by Parker Water and Sanitation District in Colorado.
Exposure to PFAS has been linked to various health concerns, including cancer, immune system issues, and developmental problems in children.
PFAS’s Connection to Cancer
Let’s explore the disturbing link between PFAS and various types of cancer. Studies have shown that exposure to these harmful chemicals can significantly increase the risk of developing testicular, kidney, and liver cancer.
Additionally, PFAS has been connected to ulcerative colitis and thyroid diseases.
