Environmental exposure to mixtures of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances in Northeast China: exploring links to nodular goiter and papillary thyroid carcinoma
Our results suggest that environmental exposure to PFAS mixtures may be associated with increased NG/PTC risk, and each PFAS may contribute to NG/PTC risk in very different ways. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first epidemiological study to examine effects of PFAS exposure on NG/PTC risk.
