Understanding PFAS

Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS) are a group of human-made chemicals that have been used in various industrial and consumer products since the 1940s. These "forever chemicals" are highly persistent in the environment and have been linked to adverse health effects in humans and wildlife.

Risks of PFAS Contamination

Exposure to PFAS through drinking water can lead to serious health concerns, including:

  • Cancer: Studies have shown associations between PFAS exposure and certain types of cancer, such as kidney and testicular cancer.
  • Reproductive Issues: PFAS exposure has been linked to reproductive problems and developmental delays in children.
  • Immune System Effects: PFAS can suppress immune system function, making individuals more susceptible to infections and diseases.
  • Liver Damage: Long-term exposure to PFAS may cause liver damage and other organ problems.
