If you've been hearing about Water Contamination from PFAS in the news lately, you're not alone—and for good reason. PFAS, often called "forever chemicals," are turning up in our water, food, and even our bloodstreams. But what exactly are they, and how can you protect yourself and your family?

Let’s break it down.

What is PFAS Water Contamination?

PFAS (Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances) are a group of synthetic chemicals that have been used in everything from non-stick cookware to waterproof clothing to firefighting foams. They’re called “forever chemicals” because they don’t break down naturally in the environment—and they accumulate in the human body over time.

That’s right: once PFAS get into your system, they tend to stick around. And unfortunately, so do their effects.

Why Should You Be Concerned?

Research has linked PFAS exposure to a growing list of serious health issues, including:

Hormonal disruption
Immune system suppression
Thyroid disease
Increased cholesterol levels
Liver damage
Certain cancers (including kidney and testicular)

Even more concerning is that PFAS contamination is widespread. A recent study found that nearly half of U.S. tap water supplies contain detectable levels of PFAS. These chemicals can seep into groundwater, rivers, and even rain.

So even if your water “tastes fine,” it could still be exposing you to dangerous levels of toxic chemicals every single day.

How Can You Stay Safe?

The good news? You can take action to protect yourself and your loved ones—and it starts at the tap.
