PFAS, or per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances, have been found to have negative effects on genetics. These chemicals have the ability to disrupt normal cellular processes, including DNA replication and repair.

When PFAS molecules are present in the body, they can bind to DNA and interfere with its structure and function. This can lead to mutations, chromosomal abnormalities, and other genetic damage that can increase the risk of cancer and other diseases.

PFAS exposure has been linked to decreased fertility and other reproductive problems.

It is important to limit exposure to PFAS by avoiding products that contain these chemicals and ensuring that drinking water is free from contamination.

PFAS are persistent in the environment, meaning that they do not break down easily and can accumulate in the body over time. This accumulation can lead to long-term exposure and an increased risk of genetic damage.

PFAS can also persist in the environment for long periods of time, contaminating water sources and causing harm to wildlife.

The production of PFAS chemicals has been phased out in many countries due to their harmful effects on human health and the environment. However, they are still present in many products today.

Here are some common objects that may contain PFAS:

• Non-stick cookware, such as frying pans and baking sheets
• Stain-resistant carpets and upholstery
• Water-resistant clothing, including raincoats and outdoor gear
• Food packaging, such as pizza boxes, microwave popcorn bags, and fast food wrappers
• Firefighting foam, used for extinguishing fuel fires
• Personal care products, including dental floss and cosmetics
• Electronic devices, such as smartphones and laptops, which may contain PFAS in their coatings or adhesives
• Building materials, such as insulation and sealants
• Automotive parts, including brake pads and windshield wiper blades
• Medical devices, such as catheters and implantable devices
