PFAS exposure may contribute to the development of thyroid disease, but legal and medical challenges make proving direct causation difficult—we take a look at the latest studies, legal cases, and future policy changes.
New studies link PFAS exposure and pancreatic cancer by disrupting endocrine function, inducing chronic inflammation, and causing genetic mutations.
New research highlights the link between PFAS exposure and bladder cancer, showing how these persistent chemicals accumulate in the bladder, cause oxidative stress, and disrupt cellular functions, increasing cancer risk in contaminated communities and high-exposure occupations.
Emerging research links PFAS exposure to prostate cancer by disrupting hormones, inducing inflammation, and causing DNA damage, increasing cancer risk for men in contaminated environments and high-exposure occupations.
New research links PFAS exposure to non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma through immune suppression, chronic inflammation, and oxidative DNA damage, increasing cancer risks for individuals in contaminated environments.
Emerging research suggests that PFAS exposure may contribute to Parkinson’s disease by disrupting dopamine production, damaging mitochondria, and inducing neuroinflammation, increasing risks for individuals exposed to contaminated water and industrial chemicals.
PFAS exposure can cause ulcerative colitis by disrupting immune regulation, causing damage to intestinal lining integrity, and altering gut microbiota, particularly in individuals who consume contaminated water sources and those who have regular occupational exposure.
Scientific studies reveal a strong link between PFAS exposure and liver cancer, with evidence showing how these persistent chemicals bioaccumulate in the liver, disrupt fat metabolism, and trigger chronic inflammation, increasing cancer risk in exposed communities and workers.
Recent studies show how PFAS exposure contributes to thyroid cancer risk particularly for military veterans exposed to high concentrations of AFFF contaminated water.
Learn how PFAS exposure is linked to testicular cancer, particularly in military personnel and communities near contamination hotspots, and explore ways to mitigate risks.
