Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are a group of harmful chemicals found in water, oceans, and certain products. They’re also called “forever chemicals” because they do not break down in the environment. One of the main threats to clean water is contamination from pollutants such as oil, dirt, chemicals, and more, which end up in our streams, lakes, and rivers. Recent data from the Environmental Protection Agency shows that at least 70 million people rely on water systems where PFAS have been detected at levels that require reporting.
