PFAS (Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances)
Autoimmune Disorders, Joan Cass Natural Healing SourcesHow Does PFAS Enter the Human Body?
PFAS are pervasive in the environment and enter the human body in several ways:
Contaminated Water: One of the primary sources of PFAS exposure is drinking water. PFAS can contaminate groundwater near factories that manufacture these chemicals or where firefighting foams containing PFAS have been used.
Food: PFAS can migrate into food from food packaging, particularly greasy fast food wrappers, microwave popcorn bags, and other packaging materials coated to be water- or grease-resistant. Fish and animals from contaminated environments can also accumulate PFAS, making food another exposure route.
