PFAS are a group of man-made synthetic chemicals that are resistant to heat, water, grease and oil, and have raised serious health concerns in the United States.

They are commonly found in everyday consumer goods, such as food packaging, clothing and carpets, non-stick cookware, plastics, dental floss, water-repellent fabrics, paints, cleaning products and so forth. They are also used in firefighting foam, oil processing, manufacturing and a host of other industrial uses where PFAS is excreted as a waste product.

PFAS water contamination has become a significant issue, with numerous communities across the globe facing the challenges of contamination in drinking water.
