What is PFAS (Per- and polyfluoroalky substance)

PFAS (Per- and polyfluoroalky substance) are a group of man-made chemicals that have made a lot of attention due to their persistence in the environment and their potential health risks. Often referred to as “forever chemicals”, PFAS are used in a wide array of consumer products for their water – and stain-resistant properties. However, their widespread has led to growing concerns about their impact on humans and their environment.

The Risk of PFAS

PFAS chemicals are found in a variety of consumer products, including textiles, non-stick cookware, cosmetics, food packaging, and firefighting foams. These chemicals are valued for their durability and resistance to heat, water, and oil, making them useful in many everyday items. However, the same properties that make PFAS desirable in manufacturing also make them highly persistent in the environment and in the human body. 

 

Exposure to PFAS has been linked to a range of health issues, including cancer, liver damage, thyroid disease, and immune system dysfunction. These chemicals can accumulate over time, leading to increased health risk with prolonged exposure. Additionally, PFAS are known to contaminate water suppliers and soil, posing significant environmental challenges. 

The Importance of PFAS Testing

As PFAS risk grows, there is increasing pressure from regulatory bodies and consumers for greater transparency and safety in consumer products. Testing for PFAS is now a critical step for manufacturers and retailers who wish to ensure their products are safe and compliant with current regulations.
