PFAS in blood are ubiquitous – and they are associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular diseases

Researchers at DZNE provide evidence that traces of the widely used PFAS chemicals in human blood are associated with unfavorable lipid profiles and thus with an increased risk of cardiovascular diseases. The findings are based on data from more than 2,500 adults from Bonn and the Dutch municipality of Leiderdorp. PFAS were detectable in the blood of nearly all study participants. The study results have been published in the renowned scientific journal “Exposure and Health”.

„Neue Forschungsergebnisse des DZNE zeigen, dass Spuren von weit verbreiteten PFAS-Chemikalien im menschlichen Blut mit einem ungünstigen Lipidprofil und damit erhöhtem Risiko für Herz-Kreislauf-Erkrankungen verbunden sind. Die Studie, an der über 2500 Erwachsene aus Bonn und Leiderdorp in den Niederlanden teilgenommen haben, fand PFAS bei fast allen Teilnehmern. Mehr dazu in unserem Artikel!“
