PFAS are a family of thousands of chemicals prized for their indestructible and non-stick properties, posing significant long-term health risks due to their persistence in the environment.
The term 'forever chemicals' refers to PFAS because they do not naturally break down, remaining in the environment for hundreds or even thousands of years, which can lead to contamination.
While PFAS and microplastics are often discussed together due to their environmental impact, they are distinct; PFAS chemicals have been linked to multiple health hazards, including fertility issues.
Efforts to reduce PFAS exposure are challenging, but possible, highlighting the need for awareness about these chemicals that permeate many consumer goods and can affect human health.
