Microplastics and a class of chemicals called per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances, or PFAS, may be unseen guests in your kitchen. Synthetic chemicals containing PFAS are used for nonstick, waterproof, and stain-resistant surfaces on everything from cookware and takeout containers to clothing and carpets. Microplastics are generated from the simple wear and tear of everyday products like plastic cutting boards, the nibble and bitemarks on the spout of a child’s sippy cup, or the breakdown of a plastic food container over time. They are so small and light that they are found everywhere, from the air we breathe to the water we drink. (Defense Health Agency-Public Health graphic illustration by Andrew Leitzer)
