PFAS and adverse health effects

What is PFAS and how does it affect health?

In the US, many states refer to PFAS as a substance that requires special attention:

In New York State, PFAS and Phthalates are on the list of substances that are proposed to be restricted in packaging.
The State of California prioritizes products that choose to treat substances containing PFAS for use on fabric or leather.
Washington State authorized the Washington State Department of Ecology to accelerate regulation of priority products containing PFAS in the Safer Products for Washington program.

PFAS is a non-biodegradable compound used for dyeing and lubricating consumer products such as textiles, paper, and food packaging.

PFAS is manufactured and used in many industries around the globe. This compound lasts a long time inside the environment and the human body is not broken down and will accumulate over time.

Studies show that PFAS affects human health such as causing cancer, kidney disease, thyroid disease, increasing blood cholesterol, affecting the immune system, and causing low birth weight in babies.
