PFAS is short for perfluoroalkyl or polyfluoroalkyl substances. These are widely used, man-made chemicals found in a variety of consumer, commercial, and industrial products.
While PFAS are key components of modern production and manufacturing, they break down very slowly, whether they’re in the soil, the water, or your bloodstream.
Just because something is modern and convenient doesn’t make it safe. In fact, a variety of studies have linked long-term exposure to these chemicals to an array of health problems, including cancer, fertility issues, and immune disorders.
PFAS are man-made chemicals that have been in widespread use since the 1940s. They’re used in thousands of products, from firefighting foam to food wrappers and non-stick coatings on cookware.
PFAS break down very slowly, remaining in soil, water, and the human body for decades.
PFAS are especially common near military bases, fire stations, airports, and chemical plants. They can also be found in household items, rainwater, and the fabric of clothing.
PFAS exposure over time has been linked to decreased fertility, developmental delays in children, cancer, hormonal imbalances, and higher risks of obesity.
PFAS has already been detected in dozens of Texas water systems, including several in San Antonio, Austin, and South Texas. Firefighters are at increased risk, as well, leading to an increase in firefighting foam lawsuits in Texas.
These are not minor health risks but could drastically impact your well-being, family, life expectancy, or quality of life. If you suspect that PFAS chemicals have harmed you, your family, your land, or your community, reach out to PFAS Texas attorneys Dreyer & Mazaheri, PLLC today.

Many Central and South Texas farmers, ranchers, and landowners have had their land and soil damaged by PFAS, especially if their farm is near a contaminated site.
