Forever chemicals, known as PFAS, are added to many products for their nonstick and water resistant properties. But with their growing presence in drinking water and the human body, what impact are they having on everyday life once health and cost are taken into account? In this episode, UC Davis environmental health scientist Dr. Scott Bartell explains the science behind PFAS, while Senator Ben Allen and Environmental Working Group’s Bernadette Del Chiaro walk through the failed attempt to phase these chemicals out of common products. Cookware industry representative Steve Burns shares the industry view on nonstick cookware and affordability.
