"PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances) have become such a pervasive part of modern life, from food packaging to clothing, cosmetics to cookware, these chemicals are all around us. But what do we really know about their long-term impact on our health and the environment?

We hope to shed some light on PFAS, known as “forever chemicals”, with our new video podcast on The Guardian’s new YouTube channel, It’s Complicated. We want to explore the uncertainties, misconceptions, and surprising truths about these pollutants, asking how these chemicals become so widespread? What are they doing to our health? Is there anything we can do to get rid of them? These are a few questions we have but we would like to hear from you.

We’re inviting you to share your questions, insights, or what you’ve always wondered about PFAS."
