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

Fragmented data

Information sits across separate sources and disciplines.

Hidden PFAS

Precursors can be missed by standard targeted testing.

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.

Academic partners

SME & non-academic partners
