The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has officially set safety standards for certain Forever Chemicals found in drinking water sources and in everyday products like nonstick cookware and stain-resistant fabrics. These chemicals, known as PFAS, pose significant health risks.

Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances, commonly known as Forever Chemicals or PFAS are one of the most concerning health risks we are currently facing. It is in our drinking water and in innumerable sources in our environment. It persists in our water supply, never degrades, and its chemical make-up is resistant to heat, grease and water. Wherever these chemicals go — in the environment, or in our bodies — they will stay.
