PFAS (Per and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances) are synthetic chemicals found in everything from non-stick pans to firefighting foam. They’re called “forever chemicals” because they don’t break down and they’ve been detected in New Jersey’s drinking water, including cities like Newark, Toms River, Jersey City, and Edison.
Exposure to PFAS has been linked to:
-
Hormonal Disruption, Developmental delays in children
-
Cancer
-
Immune System Damage & High Cholesterol
📌 The EPA has warned that even small amounts of PFAS in drinking water may be unsafe.
