In today's episode, Dr. Ayers discuss PFAS with Dr. Alex LeBeau. Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) have been used for decades in a variety of industrial and consumer products, and they are anticipated to persist in the environment for even longer, hence the name ‘forever chemicals’. These PFAS have received extraordinary scrutiny in recent years, with the US EPA finalizing drinking water thresholds for the chemicals in 2024. However, there is still debate in the scientific community on the actual health risk that PFAS present and which individual PFAS are primary risk drivers. This discussion lays the foundation to discuss PFAS and the potential toxicity they present.
