Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances are a group of nearly 5,000 compounds with bonds so tight that they are almost indestructible, earning them a reputation as “forever chemicals.” Used to make products stain-, grease-, and water-resistant, PFAS can get into water during manufacturing or when products degrade in landfills. Risks include high cholesterol, some cancers, and learning delays in children.
