Understanding PFAS and A.Y. McDonald’s Commitment to Compliance
At A.Y. McDonald, we are dedicated to providing high-quality, compliant products that meet the needs of our customers and the evolving industry standards. One topic that frequently arises is PFAS—what they are, why they matter, and how our products ensure compliance with relevant regulations.
What Are PFAS?
Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) represent a group of over 10,000 synthetic chemicals that have been widely used in manufacturing due to their resistance to heat, water, and oil. PFAS can be found in a variety of everyday products, from nonstick cookware to firefighting foams and industrial applications. However, due to their persistence in the environment and potential health concerns, regulatory agencies have increasingly focused on limiting PFAS exposure.
PFAS Regulations for Manufacturers
Given their widespread use, PFAS have been the subject of regulatory scrutiny, particularly in manufacturing industries that produce consumer and industrial goods. Standards have been put in place to limit PFAS levels in materials used across various sectors, ensuring consumer safety and environmental responsibility. Manufacturers must adhere to these evolving regulations to maintain compliance and protect public health.
