PFAS, or perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances, are hazardous 'forever chemicals' present in numerous products and linked to severe health impacts such as cancer and liver damage. Dr. Jessica Ray explains PFAS origins, their environmental movement, health effects, and ways to minimize exposure. With PFAS found in half of America's tap water, consumers are advised to opt for PFAS-free products, use stainless steel cookware, and consider water filters. Ongoing research aims to develop effective methods for PFAS removal from drinking water, while exploring safer alternatives through 'green chemistry' for future solutions.
