Early-Life Exposure to Perfluoroalkyl Substances and Childhood Metabolic Function
BACKGROUND Perfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) are synthetic chemicals that may persist in the environment and in humans. There is a possible association between early-life PFAS exposure and metabolic dysfunction in later life, but data are limited. METHODS We studied 665 mother-child pairs in Project Viva, a Boston, Massachusetts-area cohort recruited 1999-2002. We quantified concentrations of...
متن کاملLong-term effects of prenatal exposure to perfluoroalkyl substances on female reproduction.
STUDY QUESTION Does prenatal exposure to perfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) have long-term effects on female reproductive function?. SUMMARY ANSWER Our results suggest an association between in utero exposure to perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) and delay in age of menarche. WHAT IS KNOWN ALREADY Previous cross-sectional studies have reported possible effects of PFASs on female reproduction incl...
متن کاملPrenatal Exposure to Perfluoroalkyl Substances and Behavioral Development in Children
BACKGROUND In recent years, prevalence rates of behavioral disorders in children have increased. One factor possibly implied in the etiology of behavioral disorders is exposure to perfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs). The use of PFASs is highly integrated into everyday life, and exposure is ubiquitous. Exposure to PFASs during early life may be particularly harmful, as it represents a critical tim...
متن کاملDifferential Responses of Postmetamorphic Amphibians to Cattle Grazing in Wetlands
Global amphibian declines have been linked to various anthropogenic land uses. Recent studies have documented negative impacts of cropland agriculture and deforestation on amphibians; however, few have examined potential impacts of cattle grazing in wetlands on resident amphibians. Therefore, we measured differences in number of captures and body size of postmetamorphic amphibians, egg mass abu...
متن کاملTreatment Mitigation Strategies for Poly- and Perfluoroalkyl Substances
Polyand perfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs, commonly referred to as perfluorinated chemicals or PFCs) are a class of anthropogenic chemicals with past and current uses in industrial processes and consumer products. One of the most frequently utilized classes of PFASs are the perfluoroalkyl acids (PFAAs), where their structure consists of a completely fluorinated carbon chain of varying length and...
