What Are PFAS?
PFAS: polyfluoroalkyl substances: are a family of synthetic chemicals used in thousands of products, including most performance athletic wear. They're called "forever chemicals" because they don't break down in the environment or in your body. For decades, activewear brands have relied on PFAS to achieve water resistance, stain protection, and moisture-wicking performance. But at what cost?
The impact on your health
- . Accumulate in blood and organs over time
- . Disrupt hormone function and thyroid health
- . Weaken immune system response
- . Linked to increased cholesterol levels
- . Associated with certain cancers
- . Affect reproductive health and development
The impact on our planet
- . Persist in soil and water indefinitely
- . Contaminate drinking water supplies
- . Accumulate in wildlife and food chains
- . Cannot be filtered by conventional treatment
- . Spread globally through air and ocean currents
- . Found in remote Arctic regions and deep oceans
