We’re learning that some chemicals found in common household products are alarmingly toxic. This is the first comic in a series about a group of chemicals known as “Forever Chemicals” or PFAS, short for perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances. These chemicals are used in a wide variety of every-day products and can lead to serious health issues.
Follow the Public Health Insider for more in this comic series about actions you can take to protect yourself and your family and how people in King County are keeping their communities safe from PFAS.
