The details on the PFAS test

 
What are PFAS?

Per-and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are manmade for their abilities to resist heat, stains, oil, and water. They can be found in your environment and the products you use. PFAS chemicals date back to the 1930s with a significant increase in manufacturing and distribution starting in the 1940s. There are currently thousands of PFAS chemicals found in consumer, commercial, and industrial products.
