PFAS—short for per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances—are currently the subject of numerous discussions and legislative proposals. Many of these so-called “forever chemicals” are harmful to human health and the environment. Since they can potentially remain in the environment for centuries and accumulate in humans and animals, it is important to restrict their use as much as possible. This is a challenge, as PFAS are widely used in numerous everyday objects and industrial processes.
