Description

Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS), often referred to as "forever chemicals," are synthetic compounds known for their remarkable resistance to degradation. They have been extensively utilized in various industries, leading to their widespread presence in everyday products like cookware, textiles, and firefighting foam. PFAS contamination is a global issue, affecting soil, water sources, and even the atmosphere. This persistence poses a significant environmental threat, not only to you as a consumer, but in your business it impacts so much more.

Understanding what PFAS are, where they are found, and why they are a concern is pivotal in addressing this complex environmental and health challenge, including how to mitigate risks of product compliance programs and market access. Come with your questions, our experts will address as many as they can!
