How “forever chemicals” might impair the immune system

Understanding how people are exposed to toxic chemicals called PFAS will help us develop strategies and inform policies to reduce people's exposures and protect health.

Through PFAS-REACH, we are advancing science on the impacts of PFAS on children's health and empowering communities to reduce their exposures and advocate for change.

The STEEP Superfund Research Program Center was established to address the emerging problem of PFAS in drinking water—how these contaminants move through our environment, how we are exposed, and how they affect our health.

Understanding the relationship between PFAS exposure and health outcomes will allow communities and governmental agencies to make better decisions about how to protect public health.
