WHY OFF-PFAS
A major information gap around PFAS
Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are widely used in consumer products and persist in the environment, yet current monitoring and available data capture only a fraction of their presence and potential risks.
10,000+
PFAS have been manufactured since the 1940s
<50
compounds covered by many current monitoring approaches
WHAT IS MISSING
Fragmented data
Information sits across separate
sources and disciplines.
Hidden PFAS
Precursors can be missed by
standard targeted testing.
THE CONSORTIUM
Eight organisations, one shared research effort
Academic and non-academic partners contribute complementary expertise across five countries to build evidence on PFAS in consumer products and industrial settings.
