From rain jackets and makeup to frying pans, chances are, you own an item that includes Pfas.

These man-made chemicals, which have been associated with negative health effects, including high cholesterol and decreased immunity, are hard to escape. Also known as “forever chemicals”, they take a very, very long time to break down, accumulating in the environment and our bodies. Although they’ve garnered the attention of activists, who have called for stricter regulations, Pfas have been found in everything from drinking water to household cleaning products.
