Researchers have discovered that it isn’t just the extreme temperature resistant clothing of firefighters that consistently contains high levels of PFAS. Really any water resistant clothing could be suspect for PFAS contamination. Clothing specifically designed for camping or rain resistance is often made with a variety of PFAS. One category that was recently pinpointed is that of children’s school uniforms. They are made to be stain resistance and it is this quality that introduces a range of PFAS into their creation. This is specifically troubling as children as even more susceptible to the effects of PFAS contamination.
