Common PFAS Contaminants

Have you heard of PFAS?

Forever chemicals, also called PFAS (poly- and perfluoroalkyl substances), are chemicals found in everyday items, such as makeup, cookware, clothing, and industrial materials.

The PFAS class is made of over 9,000 chemicals! Here are some of the common chemicals: 

PFOA – Perfluorooctanoic acid. PFOA is the most common type of PFAS. It’s used in carpeting, clothing, sealants, and more.

PFOS – Perfluorooctanesulfonic acid. PFOS was a key ingredient in fabric protectors and is used for its stain-repellant properties.

PFOA and PFOS aren’t allowed in US products anymore, but imported goods still use them.

PFBS – Perfluorobutanesulfonic acid. PFBS is a short chain PFAS, meaning it breaks down easier than traditional PFAS. It’s used as a replacement for PFOS.

PFBA – Perfluorobutanoic acid. PFBA is used in advanced chemistry.

PFNA – Perfluorononanoic acid. PFNA is used to decrease surface tension between two types of matter and can be found in plastics.
