"Link Between Ubiquitous PFAS in Blood and Higher Cardiovascular Disease Risk Confirmed"
A study by researchers at DZNE has found that per- and polyfluorinated alkyl compounds (PFAS) in human blood are associated with unfavorable lipid profiles and an increased risk of cardiovascular diseases. The study, based on data from over 2,500 adults, revealed that PFAS were detectable in nearly all participants' blood, with younger individuals showing more pronounced negative effects. The findings highlight the need for stricter regulation of PFAS to protect cardiovascular health. The study, published in Exposure and Health, used advanced technology to analyze blood samples and is the most detailed on this topic to date.
