What Was Once a Miracle of Modern Chemistry is Now a National Crisis Today

Adding to the list of concerns that includes plastic pollution, landfill capacity, greenhouse gases and micro-plastics are PFAS.

Indestructible and almost impossible to avoid, PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances) chemicals migrate into the soil, air, and water, never break down, and remain in the environment and people for decades.

Many scientists refer to PFAS as “forever chemicals" and estimate that nine thousand or more PFAS chemicals currently exist, creating a contamination crisis.

Given the presence of PFAS chemicals and the wide range of associated health effects, there is an urgent need to understand people’s exposure to PFAS in their everyday lives. The reality is, we need to act on the full class of these toxic “forever chemicals” to clean them up, phase them out, and then ban them for good. Protect the environment now and future generations to come - be sure to do your research before you purchase!
