PFAS are a group of synthetic chemicals commonly used in manufacturing processes in consumer products for their water and oil repellent properties. These chemicals are founds in items such as non-stick cookware, stain-resistant fabrics, food packaging and firefighting foam. PFAS compounds are highly persistent in the environment and potential health risks, earning them the nickname “forever chemicals”.
