New Studies Reveal PFAS Contamination in Skin and Pesticides

Research highlights the absorption of toxic 'forever chemicals' through human skin and their widespread use in pesticides.

  • PFAS, or 'forever chemicals,' can penetrate human skin and enter the bloodstream, according to recent studies.
  • These chemicals are found in many consumer products, including skincare items, cosmetics, and waterproof clothing.
  • New research shows that PFAS are increasingly used in US pesticides, contaminating food crops and household pest control products.
  • Exposure to PFAS is linked to various health issues, including hormone disruption, weakened immune response, and potential carcinogenic effects.
  • Regulatory bodies are urged to reassess safety measures and reduce PFAS sources to mitigate health risks.
