What are the health consequences of PFAS/PFOA?

There is evidence that suggests associations between PFAS exposure and several health outcomes in humans:

• Pregnancy-induced hypertension/pre-eclampsia (PFOA, PFOS)
• Liver damage, as evidenced by increases in serum enzymes and
• decreases in serum bilirubin levels (PFOA, PFOS, PFHxS)
• Increases in serum lipids, particularly total cholesterol and low-density
• lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol (PFOA, PFOS, PFNA, PFDeA)
• Increased risk of thyroid disease (PFOA, PFOS)
• Decreased antibody response to vaccines (PFOA, PFOS, PFHxS,
• PFDeA)
• Increased risk of asthma diagnosis (PFOA)
• Increased risk of decreased fertility (PFOA, PFOS)
• Small decreases in birth weight (PFOA, PFOS)
