You may have heard of PFAS (Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances), but what exactly are they? What are they used for, and why are they a growing concern? Are they regulated, and if so, how?

PFAS are a group of synthetic chemicals widely used for their water-resistant, grease-repellent, and heat-resistant properties. They are found in everyday items such as non-stick cookware, waterproof clothing, firefighting foams, and even some food packaging. They also play an important role in many industrial, transport and medical applications. However, despite their usefulness, PFAS have raised significant environmental and health concerns due to their persistence in the environment and potential links to health risks.

We've compiled a page of information to provide an overview of PFAS – exploring their benefits, challenges, and the evolving regulatory landscape. We also offer links to key information sources to help deepen your understanding of this complex and often controversial topic.
