Associations between prenatal exposure to per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances and plasma immune molecules in three-year-old children in China.

Background: Many studies have reported that prenatal exposure to Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFASs) can disrupt immune function. However, little is known about the effects of PFASs on immune molecules. The study analyzed the association between prenatal exposure to mixed and single PFASs and plasma immune molecules in three-year-old children.

The Association between Prenatal Exposure to Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances and Respiratory Tract Infections in Preschool Children: A Wuhan Cohort Study.

This study investigates the association between prenatal exposure to per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) and the incidence and frequency of respiratory tract infections (RTIs) in preschool children. We selected 527 mother-infant pairs from Wuhan Healthy Baby Cohort (WHBC), China. Ten PFASs were measured in umbilical cord serum, and we collected data on common RTIs in preschool children aged 4 years through a questionnaire.
