The relationship between multiple perfluoroalkyl substances and cardiorespiratory fitness in male adolescents
22 Mar 2022 | Environ. Sci. Pollut. Res.
Exposure to PFAS, mainly PFNA, is associated with a decrease in cardiorespiratory health in young men, possibly via alterations in white blood cell count.
Perfluoroalkyl Substances and Incident Natural Menopause in Midlife Women: The Mediating Role of Sex Hormones
22 Mar 2022 | Am. J. Epidemiol.
Participants with higher PFAS concentrations had a shorter time to natural menopause, and the effect of PFAS may be partially explained by variations in hormone concentrations.

22 Mar 2022 | EHP
Associations of PFAS with child growth trajectory differed by sex as well as by when and at what concentration exposure occurred.
Understanding Public Perceptions of Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances: Infodemiology Study of Social Media
21 Mar 2022 | J Med Internet Res
Government agencies can use social media research to understand the community sentiment on PFAS and then use social media to dispel misinformation, communicate scientific findings, and provide resources for relevant public health services.
