What Is PFAS?
PFAS, or per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances, are a group of artificial chemicals that have been 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.
Unfortunately, PFAS can contaminate drinking water sources, posing a significant risk to public health.
