A new ASTM International standard will provide users with a road map for planning and executing assessments of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in consumer products and articles. The new standard, which will soon be published as F3700, was developed by ASTM’s consumer products committee (F15). PFAS are a group of chemicals resistant to heat, grease, oil, and water. PFAS are used in many consumer products and do not break down in the environment. Some PFAS have been linked to serious health effects in living things.
