Nationally recognized Illinois trial lawyer helping victims of toxic “forever chemicals” secure justice and compensation.

What Are PFAS — And Why They’re Dangerous

Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are a group of man-made chemicals used in firefighting foam, manufacturing, and many consumer products since the 1940s. They are often called “forever chemicals” because they do not break down in the environment and can build up in the human body over time.

In Illinois, PFAS contamination has been detected in public drinking water systems, on and near military bases, and at industrial sites. Exposure to PFAS has been linked in scientific studies to serious health problems, including certain cancers, thyroid disease, and immune system issues.
