A new study has found "ultrashort" PFAS compounds in people and their homes, according to a report by Environmental Science & Technology. PFAS chemicals are used in various industries and products, but they have been linked to health and environmental concerns. The European Union is considering a potential ban on these chemicals, which could impact the region's climate goals. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has recently finalized reporting and recordkeeping requirements for PFAS. Scientists have also discovered a more toxic type of PFAS "forever chemical" in people's houses, raising concerns about the danger zones. Additionally, there is ongoing litigation regarding the risks of consumer product marketing claims related to PFAS.
