Serum concentrations of per- and poly-fluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in Danish pregnant women-temporal trends during pregnancy, correlations with partners, associations with physical activity, and blood lipid concentrations.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Per- and polyflouralkyl substances (PFAS) are a group of persistent chemicals used extensively in industries and consumer products due to their water-repellent properties. Studies have linked PFAS exposure to adverse health effects, and human exposure to PFAS, especially during pregnancy, is of great concern. In this study, we report how serum PFAS concentrations during pregnancy correlated with serum PFAS of partners from the same household. Further, we report how serum PFAS concentrations change during the course of pregnancy and associations between PFAS and blood lipid concentrations as well as exploratory analyses of associations between physical activity and PFAS concentrations.
