Both PFOA and PFOS are man-made compounds that belong to a group of chemicals called polyfluoroalkyl substances or the abbreviated name PFAS. PFOA is short-hand for perfluorooctanesulfonic acid and PFOS stands for perfluorooctane sulfonate. But what are PFAS? PFAS are widely used chemicals found in many different consumer, commercial, and industrial products. Their widespread use is largely due to their water-resistant properties. For example, PFOS are indestructible compounds that repel water, grease, and dirt. They are often used to coat pans or rain gear. PFOA are very good at repelling oil and water. It is a substance often used in Teflon, or the non-stick coating of pans, fast-food wrappers, and takeout containers. However, they are not biodegradable and regrettably last in the environment for a very long time.
