PFAS found in all measured breast milk samples, sometimes above risk threshold

Research shows that PFAS is present in all measured breast milk samples. These substances can affect the immune system of babies. In some cases, the values were above the risk threshold.

PFAS is a group of chemical substances used in industrial products and consumer goods, among other things. They are persistent and accumulate in the environment and in living organisms. Long-term exposure to PFAS can pose health risks.

The researchers emphasize that the presence of PFAS in breast milk is concerning. More research is needed to better understand the long-term effects on the health of babies. Mothers are advised to continue breastfeeding despite these findings.

According to MSN, the findings could lead to further measures to reduce exposure to PFAS. This could be done through stricter regulations and limiting the use of PFAS in products.
