This news is based on the following article: Huang M, Jiao J, Zhuang P, Chen X, Wang J, Zhang Y. Serum polyfluoroalkyl chemicals are associated with risk of cardiovascular diseases in national US population. Environ Int 2018 ; 119 : 37-46. doi : 10.1016/j.envint.2018.05.051

This analysis of data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) suggests an association between exposure to perfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) and cardiovascular disease. The authors call for further study to help explain this association.
