PFAS Cleanup
PFAS, commonly known as ‘Forever Chemicals’ due to their persistent nature, were first created in the 1930s and widely used across various industries, infiltrating many aspects of daily life, from consumer products to industrial applications. Evidence of PFAS entering the bloodstream emerged as early as the 1970s, with public exposure detected in the 1990s. While some chemical companies have phased out PFAS since the 2000s, effectively removing or destroying these chemicals remains a daunting challenge.
As the EPA and state agencies continue to classify PFAS as hazardous, historical insurance policies have become vital in funding investigations and remediation efforts. This underscores the critical role of Restorical Research in addressing the widespread issue of PFAS contamination.
