All 50 mothers from Seattle, who were part of a study on a concerning trend, were found to have breast milk containing toxic forever chemicals or PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances).
Researchers from Seattle Children s Research Institute, the University of Washington, and Indiana University, detected the chemicals in the mothers breast milk amid presumptions that PFAS use is on the rise.
