What Are PFAS Chemicals?
Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), known as “forever chemicals,” are a group of over 15,000 man-made compounds used since the 1940s for their water-, stain-, and heat-resistant properties. Found in products like nonstick cookware (e.g., Teflon), waterproof clothing (e.g., Gore-Tex), food packaging, cosmetics, and firefighting foam (AFFF), PFAS are valued for durability but persist in the environment and human body. Common PFAS, like PFOA and PFOS, were manufactured by companies such as 3M and DuPont. Despite bans on PFOA and PFOS in many countries, PFAS contamination remains widespread in water, soil, and consumer goods, affecting millions.
