The Science

What are PFAS and PFOA?

Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are human-made chemicals used since the 1940s in non-stick cookware, water-resistant clothing, stain-resistant fabrics and firefighting foam. Perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) is one of the most well-known PFAS.

They’re known as “forever chemicals” because they don’t break down in the environment — and accumulate in our water, soil, and bodies over time.

Why It Matters

Health Concerns Linked to PFAS

Long-term exposure to PFAS and PFOA has been associated with a range of serious health effects. Reducing exposure is a smart, simple step.

Developmental Issues

Exposure in utero and during infancy has been linked to developmental delays in children.

Cancer Risk

Certain PFAS chemicals are associated with increased risk of kidney and testicular cancer.

Lab-Tested Performance

Long-term exposure may lead to liver damage and changes in liver function.

Immune System Effects

PFAS can suppress immune response, reducing the body's ability to fight infection.

Protect Your Family

Interferes with the endocrine system, leading to hormonal imbalances.

Whole-Home Options

Builds up in the body and environment over time — they don't break down.

Regulation and Reduction

In response to growing concerns, many countries have implemented regulations to limit the use of PFAS and PFOAS. For example, in the United States, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has taken steps to phase out the manufacturing and use of PFOA. Similarly, the European Union has stringent regulations governing these substances.
