"Seafood Consumption Linked to Higher Exposure to 'Forever Chemicals': Study"

A study found that people who frequently consume seafood, particularly shrimp and lobster, may face heightened exposure to toxic "forever chemicals" known as PFAS. These synthetic compounds, linked to various cancers, have contaminated water resources and the species that inhabit them. The study, focusing on seafood from coastal New Hampshire, revealed high PFAS levels in shrimp and lobster, prompting concerns about the potential health risks associated with seafood consumption, especially for vulnerable populations such as pregnant individuals and children.
