PFAS "Forever" Chemicals - What Are They & How We Can Shift to a Cleaner Future
We encounter “forever” chemicals everyday and aren’t aware of it. PFAS can be found in almost every corner of our homes, blending seamlessly into our daily lives. Textiles without PFAS can tremendously benefit the health of interior spaces. Opting for textiles with no finish or a PFAS-Free finish, ensures safety from exposure to chemicals that can build up in our bodies and lead to health complications over time. Understanding the environmental harm of these chemicals allows us to see the deeper effects PFAS have on our planet as a whole. Selecting sustainable textiles for interiors is imperative in designing a safe and mindful environment.
