We recently received an email from Nomhle Mcunu, Community Outreach Coordinator at Consumer Notice, a consumer advocacy organization based in Orlando, Florida. They shared valuable information about PFAS (Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances) to help inform and educate our readers.
According to their website, Consumer Notice is “a consumer advocacy organization dedicated to providing reliable health and safety information and empowering consumers to assert their legal rights.”
PFAS, often referred to as “forever chemicals”, are a group of widely-used, man-made substances that persist in the environment and the human body because they do not break down naturally. These chemicals are all around us and have been linked to serious health risks, including cancer.
To learn more about PFAS—what they are, where they are found, their effects on health, and ongoing scientific efforts to address this issue—you can explore their comprehensive blog by following this link: ConsumerNotice blog
