Perfluorinated chemicals (PFCs) are a group of synthetic compounds used in various industrial and consumer products. They are known for their water- and grease-resistant properties, making them useful in items like non-stick cookware, stain-resistant fabrics, and food packaging. PFCs are persistent in the environment and can accumulate in living organisms. Due to their stability, PFCs have raised concerns regarding potential health effects. Studies suggest that exposure to certain PFCs may be linked to health issues such as liver damage, immune system effects, and developmental problems. Regulatory agencies are working to assess and manage the risks associated with PFCs.
