متن کاملPrenatal Exposure to Perfluorinated Chemicals and Behavioral or Coordination Problems at Age 7 Years
OBJECTIVE Potential neurotoxic effects of perfluorinated compounds (PFCs) have been reported in highly exposed animals, but whether these chemicals are neurotoxic in humans is not known. We therefore investigated whether prenatal exposure to perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) or perfluorooctane sulfate (PFOS), two of the most prevalent PFCs, are associated with behavioral or coordination problems in...
