This news is based on the following article: Manzano-Salgado CB, Casas M, Lopez-Espinosa MJ, et al. Prenatal exposure to perfluoroalkyl substances and cardiometabolic risk in children from the Spanish INMA birth cohort study. Environ Health Perspect 2017 ; 125(9) : 097018. doi : 10.1289/EHP1330

Using data from the INMA (Infancia y medio ambiante, environment and childhood) Spanish birth cohort, the authors of this article examined the associations between first-trimester maternal plasma concentrations of four perfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) and a set of clinical and biological parameters predicting cardiometabolic risk, measured between the ages of 6 months and 7 years. The authors observed little or no indications of any effects of prenatal PFAS exposure.
