2-Minute Overview: Why PFAS is so widely used and why is it a concern?

Per- and polyfluoroalkyl (PFAS) substances are exceedingly durable due to the strength of fluorine bonds. Durability and stability characteristics caused fluorochemicals to be applied in a wide range of industries around the world, and these substances are now ubiquitous in daily life. The same durability and chemical resistance benefits that led to widespread use also results in environmental persistence. In addition to environmental concerns, Fluorochemicals are exceedingly expensive additives. Learn more about PFAS here from the US EPA.
