What Are PFAS?
PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances) are a large group of man-made chemicals. They are strong. They resist water, grease, and heat. That is why they are commonly used in non-stick pans, waterproof coats, food packaging, and even firefighting foam.
There is a huge problem when it comes to PFAS, though. That problem is that they do not break down. They stay. For thousands of years. Which is why they are commonly known as ‘Forever Chemicals’.
Not only do they stay, but they also settle in soil, move through water and build up within both animals and humans who consume them. Studies have shown that over time this can be harmful to health - and this is only the beginning of what the research will unveil.

How Can You Reduce PFAS Exposure?
The two simplest ways to reduce PFAS exposure are to avoid using products containing them and to use a water filter system designed to reduce them. Even though authorities throughout world are becoming more aware of their dangers and working hard to limit their creation, there is still PFAS present in our homes. And in our water.
