Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are a family of thousands of synthetic chemicals that all contain a partially or fully fluorinated carbon chain. Their chemical properties allow them to reduce friction and resist oil and water. As a result, they have been widely used in industry and consumer products since the 1940s. Major applications include surfactants used in industrial processes and firefighting foams, and protectants for paper packaging products, carpets, and textiles that enhance water, grease, and soil repellency.
