Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are a large class of synthetic chemicals widely used in various industries due to their unique properties, such as resistance to heat, water, and grease. However, these chemicals are increasingly detected as environmental pollutants and are linked to negative effects on human health. PFAS are highly persistent in the environment, earning them the nickname "forever chemicals," as they do not easily degrade and can accumulate in water, soil, and living organisms. Exposure to PFAS can occur through contaminated drinking water, food, and consumer products. The widespread presence of PFAS in the environment poses significant challenges for cleanup and regulation, making it a critical issue for environmental management and public health.
