“PFAS”—short for per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances—are chemicals used to repel water, grease, and stains. They are often found in household products like nonstick pans (e.g. “Teflon”), food packaging, waterproof jackets, and carpets; personal care products like waterproof mascaras and eyeliners, sunscreen, shampoo, and shaving cream; and firefighting foam on military bases and commercial airports. 

PFAS don’t easily break down and may persist in your body and in the environment for decades. Chemical manufacturers like DuPont and 3M have hidden evidence of the human and environmental impacts of PFAS since the 1960s, which may include kidney and testicular cancer, as well as endocrine disruption in humans. Scientists have discovered unusual clusters of serious medical effects with heavily PFAS-contaminated water, many of which are near military bases.
