WHAT IS PFAS?

Our city has a critical chance to ban PFAS (per and polyfluoroalkyl substances), a class of toxic chemicals that never break down in the environment.

 

HOW ARE WE EXPOSED TO IT?

Used in​

  • Artificial Grass (Two new plastic fields expected at Harvard-Westlake's River Park)

  • nonstick cookware

  • waterproof clothing

  • and firefighting foam​

 

WHAT ARE THE HEALTH RISKS?

These chemicals accumulate in our water, soil, and even our bodies, with studies showing PFAS contamination in nearly every American’s bloodstream.

ONLY YOU CAN AFFECT CHANGE.
