"Seafood Consumption Linked to Elevated PFAS Risk, Warn Scientists"

A new study has found high levels of toxic 'forever chemicals' called PFAs in seafood, posing a potential risk of exposure to these substances for frequent seafood consumers. The chemicals, linked to cancer and other serious illnesses, have accumulated in soil, water, and wildlife, with shrimp and lobster showing the highest concentrations. The findings stress the need for more stringent public health guidelines on seafood consumption, especially for vulnerable populations, and highlight the importance of further research into the risks associated with PFAs in food.
