A new study published in the Journal of the Endocrine Society found that early childhood exposure to PFAS, man-made chemicals commonly found in water and consumer products, is linked to lower bone density during adolescence, particularly in girls. Researchers analyzed blood samples from 218 adolescents and measured PFAS levels at multiple developmental stages, concluding that reducing exposure during key developmental windows could support healthier bones throughout life.
