Common Household Sources of PFAS
PFAS can be found in:
- Non-Stick Cookware: Many non-stick pots and pans contain PFAS in their coatings.
- Water-Resistant Fabrics: Clothing, carpets, and upholstery treated with water-resistant chemicals often contain PFAS.
- Food Packaging: Items like microwave popcorn bags and fast food wrappers often have PFAS to prevent grease from soaking through.
How to Reduce Your Exposure
You can limit your exposure to PFAS by:
- Switching to PFAS-Free Products: Look for cookware, clothing, and cleaning products that are labeled PFAS-free.
- Filtering Your Drinking Water: Use a water filtration system that is certified to remove PFAS.
- Avoiding Fast Food Packaging: Limit the use of food packaging known to contain PFAS, like microwave popcorn bags and takeout containers.

If you believe that your home’s water or products have exposed you to PFAS, you may be able to seek compensation for:
