‘Forever chemical’ exposure may weaken your immune system
Source ↗ 👁 0 💬 0
New research finds that exposure to PFAS may weaken the immune system in adults, raising new concerns about the long-term health effects of these widely used chemicals.
Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances, or PFAS, are a large class of human-made chemicals used in products ranging from nonstick cookware and stain-resistant fabrics to firefighting foams.
Often called “forever chemicals,” they do not easily break down in the environment and can accumulate in the human body over time.
