Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are a group of man-made chemicals that have been widely used in various consumer products, industrial processes, and firefighting foams. PFAS are characterized by their persistence in the environment and bioaccumulative properties, leading to concerns about their potential health effects. These substances have been linked to various health risks, including developmental delays, immune system impacts, and an increased risk of certain cancers. Due to their widespread presence and potential harm, efforts are being made to regulate and reduce PFAS contamination in air, water, soil, and food sources. Continued research is crucial to fully understand the extent of PFAS exposure and its effects on human health.
