PFAS are used in a variety of common products like non-stick food packaging or cookware, stain-resistant carpets or clothing, or in fire-fighting foam. The most common way a person may be exposed to these chemicals is through the consumption of contaminated food or water. Because PFAS remain in the environment for extended and unknown periods of time, they can slowly build up in a person’s body over a long period of time. There is emerging evidence linking PFAS exposure to numerous health effects.
