"Study Reveals Cancer-Causing 'Forever Chemical' Risk in High Seafood Diets"

A Dartmouth-led study reveals high levels of PFAS, or "forever" chemicals, in commonly consumed seafood in New Hampshire, emphasizing the need for specific consumption guidelines. The research highlights the risk-benefit trade-off of seafood consumption, particularly for vulnerable populations, and calls for the establishment of safety guidelines to limit PFAS exposure. The study also underscores the lack of federal guidelines for PFAS in seafood and the need for more research on how these compounds behave in the environment.
