Health risks associated with PFAS Dr. Ashish Upadhyay, Consultant, Medical Oncolgy, Fortis Anandapur, Kolkata, mentions how exposure to PFAS has been linked to various health problems, including: 1. Cancer: PFAS have been linked to several types of cancer; they disrupt the hormone levels and damage the DNA, leading to tumor growth. 2. Immunity weakening: PFAS weaken immunity by suppressing antibody production, making individuals more susceptible to infections and diseases. 3. Thyroid and liver disorders: PFOA and PFOS have been shown to disrupt thyroid function and cause liver damage. They alter hormone regulation and induce oxidative stress, along with metabolic dysregulation, causing damage to the kidney and liver. 4. Endocrine system disruption: PFAS disrupts the endocrine system by altering gene expression and interfering with thyroid hormone regulation, leading to hormonal imbalances. 5. Reduced life expectancy: PFAS leads to shortened life expectancy by accelerating aging processes and promoting the development of life-threatening diseases, such as cancer. To minimize exposure to PFAS, individuals can use water filters for drinking water and avoid heating food in plastic containers; instead, use stainless steel, glass, or ceramic utensils.
