Pediatric effects of forever chemicals may last for a long time.

Perfluorinated alkylate substances (PFASs) have been in use for about 75 years. Because of their persistence, concentrations in the environment have increased, and absorbed PFAS will remain in the human body, some compounds for many years. The fetus and the newborn infant are particularly vulnerable to PFAS toxicity du...

Current background human exposure to polybrominated diphenyl ethers: a review.

INTRODUCTION Polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) have been used as flame retardants for years, until they were banned following their inclusion in the Stockholm Convention on Persistent Organic Pollutants (2001). The chemical and physical properties of PBDEs determine their ability to spread and accumulate in the en...
