饮用水中PFAS与新罕布什尔省出生体重不足、早产和婴儿死亡的风险较高有关。 PFAS in drinking water linked to higher risks of low birth weight, preterm birth, and infant death in New Hampshire.

一项新的研究将受PFAS污染的饮用水与新罕布什尔省出生体重不足、早产和婴儿死亡的较高风险联系起来,发现使用污染源下游水井的孕妇出生体重过低的可能性高43%,早产风险高20%,婴儿死亡风险高191%。 A new study links PFAS-contaminated drinking water to higher risks of low birth weight, preterm birth, and infant death in New Hampshire, finding pregnant women using wells downstream of contamination sources had a 43% higher chance of low birth weight, a 20% greater risk of preterm birth, and a 191% higher risk of infant death. 研究人员利用2010年至2019年11 000多名出生婴儿的数据,根据地下水流量比较了接触水平,为全氟辛烷磺酸损害提供了强有力的真实证据。 Using data from over 11,000 births between 2010 and 2019, researchers compared exposure levels based on groundwater flow, providing strong real-world evidence of PFAS harm. 研究结果突出表明需要改进水安全条例,并指出清理污染比管理长期健康影响更具成本效益。 The findings highlight the need for improved water safety regulations and suggest that cleaning up contamination is more cost-effective than managing long-term health impacts.
