A study links exposure to PFAS, known as 'forever chemicals', to gut microbiome dysregulation and potential kidney damage in young adults.

The research indicates that higher PFAS exposure correlates with worse kidney function, particularly in a cohort of primarily Hispanic young adults, aged 17 to 22. The findings suggest a need for further research and policy development to mitigate health risks associated with PFAS. Teljes cikk (Euronews.com)
