What Is PFAS?
PFAS, or per- and poly-fluoroalkyl substances, are a group of man-made chemicals that have been widely used in various industrial and consumer products since the 1940s. They’re known for their water—and oil-resistant properties, making them useful in products like non-stick cookware, stain-resistant fabrics, and firefighting foam.
However, PFAS don’t break down easily in the environment, leading to widespread water contamination. The Verona Water Department in New Jersey has detected PFAS levels of 29 PPT in their water system, raising concerns about the potential health risks associated with exposure to these chemicals.
To stay informed about the PFAS contamination in your area, it’s crucial to follow updates from local authorities and trusted sources. Together, we can ensure safe, clean drinking water for all.
