🧪 Why are PFAS called “forever chemicals”?

PFAS are a large family of human-made chemicals known for being extremely persistent. Their strong chemical bonds make them difficult to break down, allowing them to remain in water, soil, and the environment for long periods of time. 💧

Because they break down so slowly, PFAS can travel through the environment and build up over time, making contamination difficult to address once it occurs. That is why reducing PFAS pollution at the source is so important.

👉 Follow along to learn more about PFAS, where they are found, and how greater awareness can help prevent pollution.

📰 Back in July, the EPA approved three new pesticides that sparked debate over whether they should be classified as PFAS, or "forever chemicals."

While the EPA says the pesticides do not meet its current definition of PFAS, some scientists argue they fit broader international standards and could persist in the environment for years.

The decision highlights the ongoing conversation around PFAS regulation, food safety, and environmental health.

📰 Earlier this year, elevated levels of PFAS "forever chemicals" were found in a stream and stormwater pond in Montgomery County, Maryland.

Officials believe the contamination is linked to firefighting foam used at a former training facility. Residents were advised to avoid contact with the water while additional testing of nearby soil, groundwater, and private wells continues.

Stories like this are a reminder that PFAS contamination can persist long after its original source.

📰 Pursue PFAS Free founder Brandi Hyatt is featured in a recent USA TODAY investigation examining delays in PFAS cleanup at military bases across the country—including the Yakima Training Center.

After discovering PFAS contamination in her family's well, Brandi turned her personal experience into advocacy for safer drinking water and greater transparency for affected communities.

As Brandi told USA TODAY:

"Everyone deserves to be safe in their homes."

She also shared her frustration with the lack of communication, saying:

"They do not tell us anything."

And as communities continue waiting for answers, Brandi hopes residents will have a real voice in the process:

"Stop telling us what you're going to do for us... and let us be a part of what's happening."
