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?
