Per-and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFASs) are toxic, man-made, hazardous and "Forever chemicals" that have dangerous impacts on the environment and human health -A thorough study.

Abstract

PFAS, a group of thousands of synthetic chemicals widely used in consumer products and industrial applications since the 1940s. They are a class of about 16,000 compounds used to make products that resist water, stains and heat. They do not naturally break down and have been found to accumulate in humans. The chemicals are linked to cancer, birth defects, liver disease, thyroid disease, plummeting sperm counts and a range of other serious health problems. Though regulators have focused on reining in pollution in water, food is thought to be the most common exposure route. PFAS can end up contaminating food through a number of routes. In rice, the
