24. What are PFAS "Forever Chemicals"? Here's What You Need to Know.


Listen Later

Have you heard all of the noise about PFAS being in your mascara, period underwear? even contact lenses?   You may have noticed the vaguely ominous phrase “forever chemicals” popping up in the news lately.  But what the hell are forever chemicals, exactly? And what do we know about how they can affect our health?

This episode is everything you need to know about these  "forever chemicals".

Today, we’re dealing with wild repercussions because these chemicals migrate very easily.  From products to our water supply to the air we breathe, PFAS travels fast and they stick around, for, well.. forever. 

In this Episode, we talk about:

  • What PFAS chemicals are
  • Why PFAS are considered forever chemicals
  • What PFAS actually do to your health
  • Where PFAS are found
  • How you can protect yourself and decrease your exposure as much as possible
