Disposable products carry hidden threat of 'forever chemicals'
Original: Disposable products, lasting risks: The hidden threat of ‘forever chemicals’
New attention is being drawn to 'forever chemicals' — PFAS compounds used in many disposable products such as food packaging and single-use items. These substances do not break down in the environment and can accumulate in the human body, raising concerns about long-term health risks including links to cancer, hormone disruption and immune problems. The report highlights growing calls for tighter regulation and safer alternatives.
Why now: Concerns over PFAS in everyday disposable products are resurfacing amid global debates on chemical regulation and health risks.
