About PFAS
"Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances," – or PFAS - is a group of toxic chemicals known to be seriously harmful to human health. These chemicals are produced by countless industries and items; including oil manufacturing processing. Consequently, they can be found in a massive array of everyday products. This includes items like fabrics, cleaning products, paints, and many other consumer goods that people regularly use.
​
PFAS are often referred to as "forever chemicals" because they have a remarkable resistance to breaking down in the environment, and the human body struggles to efficiently eliminate them. As a result, these toxic substances can accumulate within the human body, and their presence has been associated with the development of severe diseases, including various types of cancers and ulcerative colitis. The persistence of PFAS in both the environment and the human body makes them a significant public health concern.
