ENP82: PFAS

ENP82: PFAS

Author: Endocrine Society January 17, 2024 Duration: 19:03
In this episode, we learn about endocrine-disrupting chemicals known as perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), which break down so slowly that they have been called “forever chemicals.” Where can PFAS be found? What exactly is their effect on human health? What are manufacturers doing to limit exposure, and is it enough? Host Aaron Lohr talks with Benson T. Akingbemi, PhD, professor of anatomy and developmental biology at Auburn University. Dr. Akingbemi and colleagues recently published an article on PFAS in the journal Endocrinology titled, “Legacy and Emerging Perfluoroalkyl and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances Regulate Steroidogenesis in the Male Gonad.” Show notes are available at https://www.endocrine.org/podcast/enp82-pfas — for helpful links or to hear more podcast episodes, visit https://www.endocrine.org/podcast
