Most people in Wisconsin have so-called forever chemicals in their blood, but UW researchers say they don’t know if they are causing any health problems.
A new study from the University of Wisconsin says a majority of the people who volunteered for the study have traces of PFAS chemicals in their system. The report says older, higher income, white men have the highest levels. As for where they got the chemicals, researchers say in most cases the people with PFAS said they ate fish they caught or microwave popcorn.
There are worries that PFAS chemicals can cause all manner of health problems, but the UW team says it could not find a definitive link in its study.
