PFAS Exposure Negatively Affects the Placenta During Early Pregnancy
- Birth defects affect one in 33 babies, making them the top cause of infant death
- A study published in Environmental Research found that real-world PFAS mixtures can disrupt placental functions during the first trimester of pregnancy
- Other studies have also associated PFAS exposure with preeclampsia, changes in placental DNA, and nervous system defects during pregnancy
- Sources of PFAS at home include cosmetics, non-stick pans, infant clothing, and certain clothing
- Reducing PFAS exposure is challenging, but filtering water properly, making smart swaps in the kitchen, and opting for natural fabrics is a good start
