“PFAS” stands for per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances. These artificial chemicals have been used since the 1950s in various products, including food packaging, firefighting foam, cookware, stain-resistant fabrics, and industrial materials. Over time, PFAS can migrate into soil, groundwater, drinking water, and air.
Because PFAS do not break down easily, they persist in the environment and the human body, earning the nickname “forever chemicals.”
People in Los Angeles can encounter PFAS through contaminated drinking water, food sources, consumer products, or workplace exposure. Investigations have identified PFAS contamination near military bases, airports, industrial sites, and manufacturing facilities that used firefighting foams or PFAS-based chemicals.
Due to their persistence, PFAS can accumulate in the body over time, increasing potential health and environmental risks.
There is growing concern about the health effects associated with PFAS exposure. Studies have detected PFAS in blood and urine samples nationwide, and research regarding links with severe health conditions is ongoing. Because PFAS are used in numerous products, there are many opportunities for people to come into contact with them. There are also thousands of different Los Angeles PFAS chemicals, each of which can persist in the environment for an extended period without breaking down.
