Exposure to some common Pfas changes gene activity, new study finds
A new study has found that exposure to certain "forever chemicals" known as PFAS can lead to changes in gene activity. These changes are linked to various health issues, including multiple types of cancer, neurological disorders, and autoimmune diseases. The findings provide a significant step towards understanding the mechanisms by which PFAS cause disease. This information could help healthcare professionals identify, detect, and treat health problems in individuals exposed to PFAS before the issues worsen. Additionally, the research may indicate the potential for PFAS to be linked to other unidentified health conditions. The study's authors believe these findings are crucial in deciphering the ways in which "forever chemicals" contribute to the development of various illnesses, ultimately aiding in the treatment of health problems associated with PFAS exposure.
