Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances, better known as PFAS, are man-made chemicals used in a variety of industrial and consumer products – from nonstick pans to dental floss – and have been linked with health problems like cancer and infertility. They’re known as “forever chemicals” because they don’t break down in the environment over time, which is why they’re building up in water supplies. For the first time, the EPA is putting limits on “forever chemicals” called PFAS in the nation’s drinking water.
