Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances

Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are a group of synthetic chemicals widely used in textiles for their water, oil, and stain resistance. They are also called "forever chemicals" because of their persistence in the environment and human bodies, and have been linked to environmental contamination and human health problems, including cancer and reproductive issues.
