What Are “Forever Chemicals”?

“Forever chemicals,” – known as per-and poly-fluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) – are man-made chemicals known for their resistance to natural degradation, both in the environment and the human body.

These substances are used in many consumer products and pose serious health risks, which include links to cancer, liver damage, fertility issues, and increased risk of asthma and thyroid diseases. These problems have led to widespread calls for stricter regulations.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q
What kind of cancer is caused by PFAs?
A

The effects of PFAs on human health have been studied extensively, with some suggesting that exposure to PFAS may be linked to several types of cancer, including kidney cancer, testicular cancer, and possibly breast cancer.

Q
Can I sue for PFAS exposure?
A

Yes, you can certainly sue for PFAS exposure if you can demonstrate that the exposure has led to a cancer diagnosis or personal injury. PFA legal services typically target plastic makers or entities responsible for significant PFAS pollution. The goal is to prove negligence or failure to warn about the risks associated with PFAS.

Q
Is PFAS water contamination a cancer lawsuit?
A

PFAS water contamination may lead to a cancer lawsuit if there is evidence that the exposure has contributed to the development of cancer. These lawsuits focus on the link between long-term exposure to contaminated water and increased cancer risks, among other health problems.
Many communities affected by PFAS in their water supply have pursued legal actions against the manufacturers of these chemicals or against entities that improperly disposed of PFAS-containing materials.

Q
Is there PFAS in tap water?
A

PFAS can be found in tap water, particularly in areas near industrial sites, military bases, or wastewater treatment plants where these chemicals are used or disposed of. Many regions are now testing for these substances more frequently and are implementing stricter guidelines to ensure water safety.

Q
Who is most exposed to PFAS?
A

Individuals most exposed to PFAS typically include workers in industries that manufacture or extensively use these chemicals, such as in the production of non-stick cookware, waterproof clothing, and firefighting foams. Additionally, residents living near facilities that produce or use PFAS are at higher risk.
