The PFAS Effect
PFAS are found in consumer goods, firefighting PPE and foams, and have been found on Nantucket. Learn more about what they are, where they’re found, and what you can do to protect yourself, your family, and our island.
PFAS (Perfluoroalkyl and Polyfluoroalkyl substances) are toxic, ‘forever chemicals’ that millions of Americans are exposed to daily.
Our mission is to create an educational resource for Nantucket residents to learn more about the hazards of PFAS affecting our island.
