Exposure to PFAS chemicals induces sex-dependent alterations in key rate-limiting steps of lipid metabolism in liver steatosisdoi:10.3389/ftox.2024.1390196Hari, ArchanaAbdulHameed, Mohamed Diwan M.Balik-Meisner, Michele R.Mav, DeepakPhadke, Dhiral P....
A new study from Brown University reveals that prenatal exposure to “forever chemicals” (PFAS) is linked to higher body mass indices and increased obesity risk in children, emphasizing the need for ongoing research and policy adjustments to mitigate exposure risks. A federally funded study led by...
For the investigation, the researchers determined how many Americans were likely exposed to PFAS chemicals in 2018 using blood samples obtained from adults and children who participated in the U.S. National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey. Next, the study team analyzed data from dozens of s...
Results showed significant concentrations of PFAS in HDPE containers, and demonstrated the ability of PFAS to migrate from the packaging into food, resulting in a direct route of significant exposure to toxic PFAS. HDPE packaging is not explicitly intended for food storage, but there ...
number of agents used in the solution. For example, 2 μM mixtures (PFOA + PFHpA, PFOA + PFPA, and PFHpA + PFPA) were made using 2 individual PFAS chemicals at a concentration of 1 μM each while 2.25 μM mixtures (PFOA + PFHpA + PFPA) were made using 3...

“forever chemicals” due to their high resistance to degradation over time. Recent regulations and media coverage have led to a significant increase in attention from the plaintiffs’ bar. Such scrutiny is being bolstered by findings of alleged ubiquitous exposure to PFAS from the use of ...
Senate Bill 302, known as the Firefighting Foam Management Act, would restrict the use of foam containing PFAS chemicals beginning January 1, 2023 and direct the State Fire Commissioner to assist firefighting entities with evaluating and determining how to transition to the use ...
The widespread detection of perfluorinated acids (PFAs) in humans and known developmental toxicity in animals has raised concern about their potential effects on human reproductive health. Our objective was to determine whether increasing maternal exposure to PFAs is associated with adverse effects on fet...
Firefighting foam lawyers are still investigating and pursuing new AFFF lawsuits for firefighters diagnosed with testicular cancer, kidney cancer, pancreatic cancer, prostate cancer, breast cancer, liver cancer, bladder cancer, thyroid cancer and thyroid disease following exposure to PFAS chemicals in AFFF...
