Forever chemicals are EVERYWHERE AND IN EVERYTHING, EVEN YOU.
PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances) can easily travel through the environment. They can get into the water we drink, the air we breathe, and even the food we eat! (Yikes!) PFAS can also build up in our bodies, causing serious harm to our health.
GET TO KNOW POLY...
We didn’t see her coming
A good-intentioned invention, PFAS were made to improve everyday products. They’re water, grease, and stain resistant! But also toxic.
Hiding in plain sight
These chemicals are often found in unsuspecting places, like the coating on nonstick frying pans that make pancakes slide easily and even in jackets that keep you dry from the rain.
Poly has friends
Peekaboo, Poly
Once inside moms-to-be, these chemicals can be passed along to unborn children through the placenta and afterward to the newborn baby through breast milk.
Trouble makers
Health problems caused by PFAS include increased cholesterol, thyroid dysfunction, changes in liver enzymes, decreased fertility, developmental delays in children, reduced vaccine response in children, and cancers of the prostate, kidneys, and testes.
Let’s give parents
