Author(s) Washington State Department of Ecology
Description Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are a family of more than 4,700 synthetic organic chemicals. PFAS can withstand high temperatures and survive highly corrosive environments. They are used in the manufacture of coatings, surface treatments, and specialty chemicals in cookware, carpets, food packaging, clothing, cosmetics, and other common consumer products.

A Chemical Action Plan (CAP) identifies, characterizes, and evaluates uses and releases of a specific Persistent Bioaccumulative Toxin (PBT), a group of PBTs, or metals of concern, and recommends actions to protect human health or the environment.
NOTES This publication was revised in May 2021 to update the Northwest regional office's contact information.
