Abstract The European Commission asked EFSA for a scientific evaluation on the risks to
human health related to the presence of perfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS s) in food. Based …

Per-and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) constitute a large class of environmentally
persistent chemicals used in industrial and consumer products. Human exposure to PFAS is …

Background Poly-and perfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are ubiquitous and persistent
environmental contaminants that may act as endocrine disruptors in utero, but the specific …

Human male reproductive disorders are common and may have a fetal origin—the testicular
dysgenesis syndrome (TDS) hypothesis. In rats, experimentally induced TDS disorders …

Background Prenatal perfluorooctanoate (PFOA) exposure has been associated with
reduced birth weight but maternal glomerular filtration rate (GFR) may attenuate this …

Background: A recent meta-analysis of 15 studies found a change in birthweight of− 12.8 g
(95% CI=− 23.1,− 2.38) per ng/ml PFOA in maternal or cord blood and− 27.1 g (− 50.6,− 3.6) …

Background A large body of emerging evidence suggests that per-and polyfluoroalkyl
substances (PFAS) affect birth outcomes in various pathways, but the evidence is …

Background: It remains unsettled whether prenatal exposure to perfluoroalkyl substances
(PFASs) affects human reproductive health through potential endocrine disruption …
