Perfluorooctanoic acid details

Per- and poly- fluorinated alkyl substances (PFAS) are man-made chemicals that have been used in industry and consumer products since the 1940s. Commonly referred to as “forever chemicals,” PFAS do not break down easily in the environment. While the science around the potential health impacts of PFAS exposure is still emerging, evidence suggests that high PFAS exposure is associated with certain health conditions. People are most likely exposed to these chemicals by consuming PFAS-contaminated water or food, using products made with PFAS, or breathing contaminated air.
