<h2>Styling your wiki</h2>
<hr>
<p>Feel free to customize the page styling according to your preferences, or you can simply leave the style as it is. It's wise to focus on a clear content first, and on a clean design later.</p>
<p>Be cautious with the size of the assets like images, videos, and more, that you put in your wiki. Large file sizes can hinder the presentation of wikis due to slow internet connections. Remember to compress large files before uploading them to iGEM servers.</p>
<p>This default wiki meets the requirements, enhances navigability, and provides a user-friendly experience for visitors. You should not feel obligated to go beyond the provided styling.</p>
<h2>Tips</h2>
<hr>
<p>This wiki will be your team's first interaction with the rest of the world, so here are a few tips to help you get started:</p>
<ul>
<li>State your accomplishments! Tell people what you have achieved from the start.</li>
<li>Be clear about what you are doing and how you plan to do this.</li>
<li>You have a global audience! Consider the different backgrounds that your users come from.</li>
<li>Make sure information is easy to find; nothing should be more than 3 clicks away.</li>
<li>Avoid using very small fonts and low contrast colors; information should be easy to read.</li>
<li>Start documenting your project as early as possible; don't leave anything to the last minute before the Wiki Freeze. For a complete list of deadlines visit the <a href="https://competition.igem.org/calendar" target="_blank">iGEM Competition calendar</a></li>

<h2 style="margin-top: 0% !important;">PFAS, a brief description</h2>
<p style="text-indent: 5%;">PFAS are a large and diverse family of synthetic chemicals manufactured for industrial and consumer products beginning in the 1950s. These chemicals all have at least one fully fluorinated carbon bond that gives them a great resistance to breakdown in the environment. Originally developed for their water- and grease-resistant properties, PFAS are found in products that range from nonstick cookware to food wrappings, water-repellent facribs, and firefighting foams. As they are found in these products, they are serious health and environmental concerns since they might be toxic and persist in the environment. They also tend to bioaccumulate over time without degradation. Of the many PFAS compounds, some like PFOA (Perfluorooctanoic Acid) and PFOS (Perfluorooctane Sulfonate) have been linked to serious health problems such as cancer, liver damage, and developmental problems for children.</p>
<p style="text-indent: 5%;">While both PFOA and PFOS have been largely phased out of commercial use in the United States, they continue to persist in the environment. Newer alternatives, such as GenX, have been developed but also carry risks; studies have linked them to liver and kidney damage. Other PFAS chemicals include the use of PFBS and PFHxS, though most of those remain under scrutiny over health effects. The problem is that its overwhelming application in industries contaminated drinking water, soil, and even the atmosphere. This calls for regulatory authorities like the EPA to set a regulation aimed at reducing the environmental and health risks caused by these chemicals. </p>

<h2>The Problem with PFAS</h2>
<p>PFAS contamination has become a serious issue, leading to various health concerns such as liver disease, cancer, and more. These substances are extremely difficult to break down and are found in the blood of 97% of Americans.</p>
