Have you ever gone to your car and wondered what was on your windshield? You get inside and see a strange, pasty film on your windshield. What came down from the clouds was more than just rainwater.

When you spray your windshield fluid, and the wipers won’t get it off the glass, do you consider why? If you have yet to experience this, when it happens, look at where you parked. Was there a clear shot at your window, or did you park under a tree? If there was a clear shot at the window, then whatever was on your windshield was in the rain.

Chances are that what you’re seeing is pollution from PFAs. PFAs are Poly-and perfluoroalkyl substances. They’re chemicals used in things like non-stick pans, fire-fighting foam, and water-repellent clothing. Worse yet, the scientific community has dubbed them forever chemicals because they persist in the environment for years.
