Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are a group of synthetic chemicals widely used in industrial and consumer products, known for their persistence in the environment and human body. Many of our Center's researchers focus on PFAS because of growing concerns about their links to serious health effects, including cancer, immune system suppression, and developmental issues. By studying PFAS, we aim to better understand their impact on public health and support efforts to reduce exposure, especially in vulnerable communities.
