The Impact of PFAS Chemicals

PFAS chemicals, known as forever chemicals, pose significant health risks due to their persistent presence in the environment and in human bodies. These compounds are linked to serious health issues, including various cancers, hormone disturbances, liver damage, and reproductive health problems, with approximately 97% of Americans testing positive for these substances. Despite their widespread use since the 1940s, regulatory agencies like the EPA and FDA have been slow to address the dangers posed by these chemicals, often relying on manufacturers' self-reported safety studies. This lack of thorough testing means that only a limited number of PFAS compounds are evaluated, leaving many harmful substances unregulated in products we use daily, such as food packaging and cookware.
