Per-and Polyfluorinated alkyl substances (PFAS) or “forever chemicals” are man-made chemicals that have been used in industry and consumer products like nonstick cookware, water-repellent clothing, carpets, some cosmetics and firefighting foams.
The science around potential health impacts of PFAS exposure is still emerging but evidence suggests that high PFAS exposure is associated with certain health conditions.
Elevated levels of 9 PFAS (Forever Chemicals) have been associated with increased risk to certain health conditions reported in individuals with high levels of industrial or environmental exposure.1
This PFAS blood test measures the levels of 9 PFAS chemicals that have been associated with certain health risks, providing the overall level and each of the 9 individual PFAS levels. The results provide an indication of how much PFAS has entered the body over time.
PFAS blood testing does not identify the sources of a person’s exposure or predict future health outcomes. This test assesses PFAS levels at the time of the blood sample collection.
