Exposure to six common PFAS chemicals in early pregnancy can harm placental function, affecting fetal development, a new study finds.
A new study finds that exposure to a mixture of six common PFAS chemicals during early pregnancy can impair placental function, disrupting cell invasiveness, hormone production, and cell balance—key processes for fetal development.
Using a 3D placental model, researchers detected harmful effects at levels seen in human placentas, highlighting the vulnerability of early pregnancy and the need for better monitoring and risk assessment of these persistent environmental pollutants.
