PFAS

  • Most people in the United States have some level of PFAS in their blood. A PFAS blood test can show the amount of PFAS chemicals in your body at the time of testing. However, the results cannot tell you if a current health problem is caused by PFAS exposure, nor can they predict or rule out future health issues related to PFAS.

    If you know that you’ve been exposed to high levels of PFAS, the most important step you can take is to reduce ongoing exposure. If you have specific health concerns, consult with your health care provider.

  • If PFAS are above health advisory levels in your drinking water, we recommend that you switch to an alternative source of drinking water and continue to breastfeed your baby. Given the scientific understanding at this time, the benefits of breastfeeding outweigh any potential risks of PFAS exposure through breast milk. Talk to your health care provider if you have concerns about PFAS and breastfeeding.
