What are PFAS?
PFAS (Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances) are a group of man-made chemicals used in various industrial and consumer products for their water-resistant, nonstick, and heat-resistant properties. They are often called "forever chemicals" because they do not break down easily in the environment or the human body.
What are microplastics?
Microplastics are tiny plastic particles, usually less than 5mm in size, that come from the breakdown of larger plastic items. These particles can accumulate in the environment, polluting oceans, soil, and even the air, posing risks to wildlife and potentially entering the human food chain.
