AccuStandard | Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substance Standards (PFAS)
Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) belong to a continuously expanding family of thousands of man-made chemical pollutants. The amphiphilic ability of PFAS has led to the manufacturing of PFAS in oils and water-resistant industrial and consumer products such as firefighting foams, cleaners, cosmetics, paints, adhesives, non-stick coatings and insecticides. However, environmental chemists and biologists have uncovered that PFAS have harmful toxicological effects and pose a significant risk to the public. The high thermal and chemical stability of PFAS make them persistent in the environment and nearly non-biodegradable, necessitating chemical reference standards to monitor for PFAS in drinking water, burn sites and teflon products.
