Connecticut: Common ‘forever chemicals’ found in tap water and hundreds of everyday items can cause cancer cells that can make it difficult to treat a rapidly spreading disease in the body, a new study has found. are
Several studies have shown that ‘per- and polyfluoroalkyl (PFAs)’ compounds are associated with several types of cancer, but researchers now know that these compounds are also significantly associated with the spread of the disease. May be.
Yale University researchers observed in the study that when PFEs were exposed to colon cancer cells, specific signs of metastasis appeared. Metastasis is a process in which cancer cells move to different parts of the body.
The spread of cells in the body raises the concerns of experts because the spread of cancer makes it difficult to treat.
Studies have shown that 97 percent of Americans have detectable levels of PFS chemicals in their blood.
These chemicals are almost everywhere in the environment because they are almost impossible to eliminate and hence they are called forever chemicals.
Previous studies have linked PFs to other types of cancer, including kidney, prostate, and breast cancer. However, the Yale University paper published in the journal Environmental Science and Technology is the first to suggest that these chemicals may also cause cancer (particularly colon cancer) to spread more rapidly.
