Due to their durability they decompose highly slow and can last in the environment and surviving organisms for years, hence the nickname ‘Eternal chemicals’.A survey published on Thursday by the Dutch National Institute for Public wellness and the Environment (RIVM) showed that “Everyone in the Netherlands has different types of PFAS in their blood. Almost all PFAS is higher than the wellness limit’.The vulnerability of humans to these compounds usually occurs through contaminated food, drinking water, household products, air and soil.
Research has linked any PFAS compounds to wellness problems specified as advanced cholesterol levels, infertility, kidney problems and certain types of cancer.Although their presence does not warrant the disease, chemicals can weaken the immune strategy and the severity of the effects depends on the level and duration of exposure, as well as on individual wellness conditions, the institute noted.The survey analysed around 1500 blood samples taken from 2016 to 2017, and RIVM confirmed that it is presently examining samples from 2025 to measure fresh vulnerability trends.Although PFAS is known to persist in the body, they may gradually fade over time, noted the institute, stressing the request to reduce regular intake.Similar studies were conducted in the USA, Canada and Australia, revealing widespread vulnerability in different populations.
