PFOA is an infamous member of the class of chemicals known as PFAS (Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances) or PFCs, which have come under increased scrutiny in recent years – by scientists, medical researchers, regulatory bodies, and the public – for their health effects. Once the carcinogenic...
However, industry reworked the chemicals by making them into 4- and 6-carbon chains — today over 9,000 different PFAS exist,according to the CDC. Experts say these newer versions appear to have many of the samedangerous health effects as the 8-chain PFAS, leaving consumers and the environme...
