PFAS Cycle – Environmental Contamination Science Illustration

This PFAS Cycle illustration provides a clear visual breakdown of pfas contamination as it moves from industry and industrial waste into the air and water. The diagram tracks how pfas chemistry affects the environment, specifically highlighting pfas in water through labels for wastewater discharge, irrigation, and drinking water. Visible elements include factories, residential homes, consumer goods, and agricultural land with livestock and crops. Educators can use this to explain how consumer waste and firefighting foams enter the food chain via fish and produce. This hand-illustrated style uses clean vector lines and a cohesive color palette to simplify complex environmental flows, making it more engaging and easier to follow than a standard labeled diagram.
