What are PFAS?
Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are man-made chemicals have been widely used in manufacturing and industrial applications like firefighting foam (AFFF), cleaning products, non-stick cookware, personal care products, and water-resistant clothing due to their unique chemical properties.
What are the effects of PFAS on our health and the environment?
PFAS can be found almost everywhere in the environment to varying degrees. Thorough research is being dedicated nationally and globally to better understand the relationship between PFAS and the health of humans, animals, and the environment. Some studies have suggested that exposure to specific types of PFAS may have harmful health effects (Department of Health & Aged Care, 2024).
