Understanding PFAS: Protect Your Health with Tokui
Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), commonly known as "forever chemicals," are a group of over 14,000 human-made chemicals that have been widely used since the 1950s for their resistance to heat, water, grease, and stains. Found in everyday products like non-stick cookware, clothing, cosmetics, and firefighting foam, these chemicals persist in the environment and our bodies, posing significant health risks.
Health Risks of PFAS
Research indicates that PFAS exposure can lead to severe health issues, including:
- Cancer: PFAS have been linked to various cancers, such as kidney and testicular cancer.
- Hormonal Disruptions: They can interfere with thyroid function and hormone levels.
- Reproductive Issues: PFAS may affect fertility and cause developmental issues in infants.
- Immune System Impact: Exposure can reduce vaccine response and increase cholesterol levels.
PFAS in Drinking Water
A recent UNSW Sydney-led study revealed alarming levels of PFAS contamination in global source water. The research compiled over 45,000 data points from various sources, showing that many water sources exceed safe drinking limits, with PFAS concentrations particularly high in areas with extensive use of firefighting foams.
