Children’s bones failing to develop, adult bones deteriorating due to “forever chemicals”
New research out of Southern California has found that persistent exposure to "forever chemicals" like perfluorooctane sulfonic acid (PFOS) increases one's risk of bone deterioration. In young children, PFOS exposure can impede healthy bone development. In adults, PFOS exposure can degrade bone structure over time, eventually leading to more serious bone problems like osteoporosis. Published on December … Continue reading Children’s bones failing to develop, adult bones deteriorating due to “forever chemicals”

Scientists find toxic “forever chemicals” in home fertilizers made from sewage sludge
Many home gardeners buy compost or fertilizers to improve the quality of their soil. Unfortunately, some home fertilizers made from biosolids – nutrient-rich, organic materials derived from sewage sludge – contain alarmingly high levels of “forever chemicals,” or per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS). Those are the findings of a recent report by scientists with Ecology Center, a nonprofit environmental advocacy group based in … Continue reading Scientists find toxic “forever chemicals” in home fertilizers made from sewage sludge
Concerning levels of “forever chemicals” found in 100% of breast milk samples
A new study that evaluated American women’s breast milk for per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), also known as “forever chemicals,” has shown “cause for concern” in the levels found in all 50 samples analyzed. The study, first reported by The Guardian, showed that the chemicals were found at levels roughly 2,000 times higher than what experts consider safe.
