Researchers have found PFAS, often called “forever chemicals,” in some toilet paper products, raising concerns about environmental contamination. While food and drinking water remain the main sources of PFAS exposure, studies suggest toilet paper can contribute to these chemicals entering wastewater systems after disposal. Experts say the biggest concern is long-term environmental impact rather than immediate health risks from everyday use. Consumers looking to reduce potential exposure may consider simple, fragrance-free products with transparent manufacturing practices.
