Countries such as the United States, members of the European Union and China have been tightening legislation and establishing  <\/span><b>strict limits for the use, emission and presence of PFAS<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> in the environment.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This global movement represents a turning point: <\/span><b>it is no longer a question of &#8220;if&#8221; Brazil will regulate PFAS, but &#8220;when&#8221; and &#8220;how&#8221;<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. And in this context,  <\/span><b>environmental consultancies and brazilian industries need to anticipate<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p><p> <\/p><h2><b>What are PFAS?<\/b><\/h2><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Perfluoroalkylated and polyfluoroalkylated substances, known by the acronym <\/span><b>PFAS<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">are a broad class of synthetic compounds first developed during the Second World War. Their first large-scale use was in the war industry.  Later, they gained notoriety with the creation of the  <\/span><b>Teflon<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Teflon, a polymer (PTFE) known for its non-stick properties, is still present today in household utensils such as pots, pans and airfryers.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Currently, PFAS are widely used in products such as grease-resistant papers, fire-fighting foams, cosmetics, waterproof clothing, air-conditioning and industrial filters. However, despite their usefulness, these substances have a dark side that is gaining international attention. <\/span><\/p><p> <\/p><h2><b>The invisible danger: the risks of PFAS to health and the environment<\/b><\/h2><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">PFAS are often referred to as <\/span><b>&#8220;eternal chemicals&#8221;<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">  because they do not degrade easily in the environment or in the human body. Studies show that prolonged exposure can be associated with various adverse effects, including:<\/span><\/p><ul><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hormonal and immune dysfunctions<\/span><p> <\/p><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Increased risk of cancer<\/span><p> <\/p><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Decreased fertility<\/span><p> <\/p><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Liver and kidney problems<\/span><p> <\/p><\/li><\/ul><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In addition, because they accumulate in the environment, PFAS contaminate soils, groundwater and food chains, making them a long-term challenge for environmental control.<\/span><\/p><p> <\/p><h2><b>The world on alert: legislation and global debates<\/b><\/h2><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Several nations have already taken concrete measures to control or ban PFAS compounds:<\/span><\/p><ul><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>United States<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) has made significant progress with specific regulations. Method 1633, for example, was developed to standardize the analysis of PFAS in various environmental matrices.
