What Are PFAs (Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances)? “Forever Chemicals”
PFAS are organofluorine chemical compounds with several fluorine atoms connected to an alkyl chain that are synthesized. Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl (PFA) chemical manufacturers have been widely reconsidering their use of these compounds in their product range due to a lack of research to identify how toxic these substances are to people. Cleaning goods, food packaging, personal hygiene items, cosmetics, fire extinguishing foams, coatings, and many other products contain PFAS. Furthermore, perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl chemicals may reach the environment as a result of soil, water source, air, animal, and even human contamination.
The vast majority of PFAS remain in the environment. PFAS are recognized to be longer-lasting in the environment than any other manmade chemical. Because PFAS persist in the environment, people and other species will be exposed to progressively larger quantities of these chemicals as long as they are released. Even if all PFAS emissions were to cease tomorrow, they would remain in the environment and in people for numerous generations.
Where can PFAS be found?
PFAS have slowly built up in the environment as a result of their numerous varied applications. These dangerous substances are present in a variety of products, including food, rubber, textiles, and other items.
Both direct and indirect sources, such as PFAS-using commercial and industrial facilities, consumer goods (including cosmetics, clothing, and ski wax), and food contact materials, release PFAS into the environment. They may be exposed to them every day at work, at home, and in the environment, as well as through the food and drink people eat.
PFAS compounds make up a majority of the different PFAS we are in contact with on a daily basis. These PFAS are truly not good for the environment, which prompts the involvement of the community and solution providers like us.
What Does This Mean For Your Industry?
Harsh regulations could impact your business in many ways, such as forcing businesses to seek alternate goods and manufacturing processes. The restriction will also apply to PFAS-containing goods imports internationally. Because PFAS is used in so many products, the prohibition will have an impact on thousands of industries, including electronic device manufacturing, cosmetics and hygiene product manufacturing, medical device manufacturing, electrical energy generation and storage, and so many more.
