Specialists from various medical departments at the University of Tsukuba Hospital will evaluate the results, relating the molecular species and concentrations of PFAS to their health effects. This research will, for the first time, reveal the effects of PFAS derived from dietary habits on the human...
Here, we review the limitations of traditional approaches to PFAS health assessments and explore how the exposome approach may be able to address such issues. We discuss the advantages and disadvantages of exposomic research and its implementation into human health studies, and provide suggestions for...
The widespread nature of PFAS exposures from everyday consumer products and drinking water, coupled with the potential for long-term health impacts from these birth outcomes such as low birth weight, should elevate concerns worldwide. Evidence has shown that compared to normal weight infants, low-...
Previous studies have revealed associations between exposure to specific PFAS and health effects including reduced immune function, liver disease, kidney disease, and adverse reproductive and developmental outcomes. Elimination through urine is critical to determining the total body clearance of PFAS, and ...
New warnings of health effects from the widely used “forever chemicals” per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) continue to emerge as years go by. Despite all the knowledge, action to limit these chemicals in products and our environment is slow. Subscribe to Euractiv's Health Brief, ...
Concentrations of plasma per and poly-fluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are elevated in the Inuit population of Nunavik and may be causing adverse health effects. Respiratory health outcomes have been associated with PFAS, but have not been explored in Inuit communities. The aim of the study was to...

The review focused on research articles from 2017 to 2020 available online from 2015 to July 15, 2020. A complimentary search using the term “PFASs human health effects” was also conducted. The focus of follow-up searches was on PFAS exposure and water, PFAS exposure and impacts on human...
Brown University is seeking a Research Scientist and Postdoc to study patterns, determinants, and health effects of environmental chemical exposures with an emphasis on PFAS and mixtures. These positions have two years of funding, with the potential to continue if funds are available. ...
C. The unknown effects on human health. D. A big sale for the food with 'forever chemical'28. What can we know from the passage? A. PFAS can break down quickly in the environment. B. The effect of PFAS on strawberries was less than on grapes. C. Banning the use of PFAS is ...
