Individual and mixtures of PFAS during pregnancy are associated with maternal cardiometabolic outcomes during pregnancy
This study evaluated PFAS exposures during pregnancy in central Arkansas. We show that PFAS exposure during pregnancy influences maternal cardiometabolic outcomes and a case in point that future studies are needed to determine the impact on maternal health and to investigate potential interventions to limit the effects of PFAS exposure during pregnancy.
