The trace level of PFAS makes the development of a monitoring database challenging. Additionally, the potential health issues associated with PFAS are not yet fully understood due to ongoing research and inadequate evidence (experimental and epidemiological studies), especially with regard to the ...
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...
But the increasing accumulation of evidence that microplastics are inside humans—with all of the health issues that may imply—may serve to place a new sense of urgency on the topic. Says Wagner, “There’s hope. There’s always hope.” For you: The Well Adjusted newsletter: Sign up ...

PFAS-associated abnormalities of liver toxicity are reflected in higher liver blood enzyme values such as alanine transaminase (ALT) values, and altered lipid metabolism. Multiple adult human population studies also show alterations in liver functions associated with PFAS exposure, and notably with PFOA...
One Health is the interconnectedness of humans, animals, and the environment and shapes how research can best pursue solutions for these complex issues. I was pleased to have the opportunity to co-host the event with Gloria Bachman, MD, MMS associate dean for women's health and professor of ...
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
Using AFFF raises significant health and environmental concerns, chiefly due to the presence of per- and poly-fluoroalkyl substances (PFAS). These chemicals, known for their persistence in the environment, are linked to various health issues. ...
