Understanding PFAS Contaminants
Per-and polyfluoroalkyl substances, or PFAS, encompass a vast family of synthetic chemicals utilized in a plethora of consumer goods and industrial applications since the 1940s.
PFAS compounds, particularly perfluorooctane sulfonic acid (PFOS) and perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA), are often dubbed “forever chemicals” due to their persistent nature in the environment and resistance to degradation. This durability, coupled with their extensive usage, has led to the ubiquitous presence of PFAS across various environmental mediums. Traces of these substances have been detected in the bloodstream of humans and animals alike, and to a lesser extent, in an array of food items.
Of the myriad PFAS compounds in existence, PFOS and PFOA are the most prominent.
