‘Forever Chemicals’ could reshape the U.S. water treatment market in the long term. Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), increasingly referred to as “forever chemicals,” are a class of over 4,500 chemical compounds that have been broadly in use for the better part of 70 years across numerous commercial, industrial, and military functions.
