MIAMI, FLORIDA, FL, UNITED STATES, June 20, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), commonly known as "forever chemicals," have been detected in the air surrounding industrial facilities, raising concerns about an often-overlooked exposure pathway. Legal Claim Assistant emphasizes the importance of recognizing airborne PFAS emissions as a potential health risk and encourages affected individuals to seek information and legal support.

Recent studies have shown that PFAS can be released into the atmosphere during manufacturing processes, waste incineration, and other industrial activities. Once airborne, these chemicals can travel significant distances before settling onto soil and water bodies, potentially entering the human body through inhalation or ingestion of contaminated food and water.

"Airborne PFAS emissions represent a significant yet underrecognized route of exposure," says Sarah Miller, Legal Assistant at Legal Claim Assistant. "Communities near industrial sites may be at risk without even realizing it."

Health Implications and Regulatory Challenges

Exposure to PFAS has been associated with various health issues, including immune system suppression, hormonal disruptions, and increased risk of certain cancers. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has acknowledged the potential dangers of PFAS but has yet to implement comprehensive regulations specifically addressing airborne emissions. Legal scholars have suggested that the EPA could utilize its emergency powers under the Clean Air Act to address imminent threats posed by airborne PFAS, but such actions have not been widely pursued (https://journals.law.harvard.edu/)

Legal Support for Affected Communities

Legal Claim Assistant provides resources and referrals for individuals who believe they have been exposed to PFAS through airborne emissions. Those experiencing health issues potentially linked to PFAS exposure, especially residents near industrial facilities, may seek legal guidance to understand their rights and options.
