“Every American deserves to breathe clean air, drink clean water, and eat safe food — free of chemicals and pollutants that harm the health and wellbeing of children, families, and communities.”
— White House Press Release, 2021
What is PFAS?
PFAS stands for ‘Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances’. Over 4,000 synthetic chemicals are considered PFAS. These synthetic chemicals are found in our air, water, soil, food, and everyday products at alarming quantities. Federal, state, and local regulation of these harmful chemicals has begun in the United States.
Harmful Effects
PFAS exposure has been linked to adverse health effects, including liver damage, thyroid disease, decreased fertility, high cholesterol, obesity, hormone suppression and cancer. These synthetic chemicals take an extended period of time to break down in nature, giving them the nickname ‘Forever Chemicals’. In addition, these chemicals bio-accumulate over time in our bodies, environment, and water supply.
