Child growth and development hampered by PFAS in blood, study says | CNN
Human-made chemicals called PFAS alter pathways needed for human growth and development, according to a recent study analyzing blood samples from young children, teens and young adults.
"Based on the amount found in the different food samples, the study estimates enough PFAS could be ingested through food stored in the containers to be a significant risk of exposure."

Plastic containers can contain PFAS — and it’s getting into food
Researchers at the University of Notre Dame are adding to their list of consumer products that contain PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances), a tox...
“The results of our study should serve as a warning to women everywhere about the potentially harmful effects of PFAS when they are planning to conceive.
We can minimize PFAS exposure by avoiding foods that are associated with higher levels of these chemicals and by purchasing PFAS-free products.”
“It is also important to advocate for policies that ban the use of toxic chemicals, such as PFAS, from everyday products.”
