PFAS (per- and polyfluorinated alkyl substances) are a group of chemicals that are used in many industries due to their unique properties such as resistance to water, grease and heat. Although these substances have been widely used in firefighting foams for years, recent studies have shown that they pose significant environmental and health risks.
The dangers of PFAS
PFAS are known to accumulate in the environment and in the human body and are hardly degraded. They can contaminate drinking water if they get into the ground and cause various health problems, including cancer, hormone disorders and immune deficiencies.
