Take action on forever chemicals, PFAS

Forever chemicals, PFAS, get everywhere, they are used unnecessarily in everyday products and escape into the environment, they are an unacceptable risk to people and wildlife worldwide. PFAS are in everything from pizza boxes to polar bears. Despite major environmental and human health concerns, there are over 4,700 of these industrial chemicals on the market today. Just as plastic pollution is building up around us, so too are these toxic chemicals. The difference is we don’t see the chemicals, we only see their impacts, and by then it’s too late. Known as #ForeverChemicals because they don’t break down, once they get into our environment, they move, they build and they concentrate, but they don’t go away. PFAS are everywhere, they are in us all and they are in our environment. Studies have shown measurable PFAS concentrations in people’s blood and mothers’ breast milk, all around the world. They have been recorded in air, water, sediment, plants and wildlife. They are found in rain, snow, groundwater, tap water, rivers, lakes and seawater. PFAS are in Polar bears and PFAS are in puffins. PFAS are in our everyday products and we need this to change.
