Exposure to PFAS can occur through several pathways. The most common route is through contaminated drinking water, especially near industrial sites where PFAS are manufactured or used. Food can also be a source of exposure, particularly if it's packaged in materials containing PFAS or grown in contaminated soil. Inhalation of contaminated air and dust, as well as the use of consumer products like stain-resistant fabrics and non-stick cookware, can contribute to PFAS exposure.
