Fetal exposure to perfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in drinking water and congenital malformations: A nation-wide register-based study on PFAS in drinking water
Modelled fetal sum of PFAS4 was associated with malformations of the nervous system and chromosomal anomalies, while the mixture assessment revealed associations with defects on urinary system. As the underlying toxicological mechanisms remains unclear, further investigation is warranted.
