PFAS Health Links

Research has linked exposure to perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) to a range of adverse health effects. Strong evidence supports associations between PFAS exposure and increased cholesterol levels, particularly with PFOA, PFOS, PFNA, and PFDA.

There is sufficient evidence for a link between PFAS exposure and decreased antibody response to vaccines, with studies showing associations for PFOA, PFOS, PFHxS, and PFDA.

PFAS exposure is also associated with changes in liver enzymes, such as alanine aminotransferase (ALT), and small decreases in birth weight.

Furthermore, there is sufficient causal evidence for an association between PFAS and kidney cancer, with suggestive evidence for testicular and breast cancer.

Other potential health effects include pregnancy-induced hypertension and preeclampsia, thyroid disease, and altered immune function.

The National Toxicology Program has concluded that PFOA and PFOS are hazards to human immune system function.

Exactly, nothing solid. We went through this in upstate NY. With millions of people affected, no tangible connections and no deaths attributed to pfoa. They have managed to extract BILLIONS from companies to manage it supposedly.
