PFAS Information
What are per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS)? According to the Missouri Department of Natural Resources, they are “a group of manmade fluorinated chemicals that have been used in industry and consumer products since the 1940s….Due to their widespread use, PFAS can be found in our water, soil, air and food, in addition to materials found in our homes or workplaces. Many PFAS break down very slowly and can build up in people, animals and the environment over time. Scientific studies have shown that exposure to some PFAS in the environment may be linked to harmful health effects in humans and animals.” (Source)
