A new study conducted by Belgian researchers indicates that drinking straws made from paper and bamboo contain higher levels of poly- and perfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) than their plastic counterparts.
Often dubbed "forever chemicals," PFAS are widely used in everyday goods, from outdoor gear to non-stick cookware, due to their ability to resist water, heat, and stains. However, these chemicals can potentially cause harm to humans, wildlife, and the environment.
