SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE. 
This Act may be cited as the ‘‘Federal PFAS Research 
Evaluation Act’’. 
SEC. 2. FINDINGS. 
Congress finds the following: 
(1) Perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances 
(PFAS) are a group of man-made chemicals that 
have been used in a wide range of products since the 
1940s including firefighting foam, carpeting, pack-
aging, and cookware. There are more than 5,000 types 
of registered PFAS compounds. This chemical class is 
not currently regulated at the Federal level. 
(2) PFAS have been detected in air, water, soil, 
food, biosolids, and more. They can accumulate and 
remain in the body for a long time, and potentially 
lead to serious health effects including cancer, low in-
fant birthweight, liver and kidney issues, reproductive 
and developmental problems, and more. 
(3) There remains much unknown about PFAS 
toxicity, human and environmental health effects, ex-
posure pathways, as well as effective removal, treat-
ment, and destruction methods, and safe alternatives 
to PFAS.
