These chemicals are commonly used in household items like food packaging, non-stick cookware, stain-resistant fabrics and carpets, and personal care products.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ai-optimize-10\" data-start=\"1547\" data-end=\"1797\">Though exposure is often minimal, constant contact leads to bioaccumulation in human tissues, posing long-term health risks. Everyone is affected\u2014regardless of geographic location or income\u2014but those closer to industrial zones are at higher risk.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ai-optimize-11\" data-start=\"1799\" data-end=\"2049\">Prior research shows people absorb these chemicals through food, water, air, and even skin contact. Critically, fetuses can be exposed during pregnancy, which may cause birth defects or increase the risk of chronic diseases in later life.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_14063\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-14063\" style=\"width: 1024px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-14063 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/0000-1-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"A recent study published in early June in the Journal of the American Heart Association and discussed at the Society for Epidemiologic Research (SER) Conference in Boston, U.S., found that children exposed in the womb to so-called &quot;forever chemicals&quot; are more likely to develop high blood pressure\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/0000-1-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/0000-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/0000-1-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/0000-1.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-14063\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Prior research shows people absorb these chemicals through food, water, air, and even skin contact.

Researchers tracked over 1,000 children born in Boston across a 12-year period. Their mothers&#8217; blood was tested at birth for PFAS levels, and researchers compiled more than 13,000 blood pressure readings for the children (ages 3\u201318) during routine pediatric visits.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ai-optimize-14\" data-start=\"2496\" data-end=\"2726\">Roughly 60% of the mothers were Black, and the average maternal age was 29. The researchers considered social, racial, and dietary variables to examine how environmental exposure intersects with broader health disparities.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"ai-optimize-15\" data-start=\"2733\" data-end=\"2753\">Key Findings<\/h3>\n<p class=\"ai-optimize-16\" data-start=\"2755\" data-end=\"2915\">Children whose mothers had higher levels of PFAS in their blood were significantly more likely to experience elevated blood pressure during their teenage years.<\/p>\n<ul data-start=\"2917\" data-end=\"3058\">\n<li class=\"ai-optimize-17\" data-start=\"2917\" data-end=\"2986\">\n<p class=\"ai-optimize-18\" data-start=\"2919\" data-end=\"2986\">Systolic blood pressure (top number) rose by 1.4% to 2.8%<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li class=\"ai-optimize-19\" data-start=\"2987\" data-end=\"3058\">\n<p class=\"ai-optimize-20\" data-start=\"2989\" data-end=\"3058\">Diastolic blood pressure (bottom number) rose by 1.2% to 2.5%<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"ai-optimize-21\" data-start=\"3060\" data-end=\"3295\">Among Black adolescent males, the risk increased by 6% to 8%, likely due to compounded effects of socioeconomic hardship, limited access to fresh food, and greater consumption of packaged goods containing harmful chemicals.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"ai-optimize-22\" data-start=\"3302\" data-end=\"3326\">Why This Matters<\/h3>\n<p class=\"ai-optimize-23\" data-start=\"3328\" data-end=\"3542\">Past studies may have underestimated these risks because they only followed children into early childhood. This new data suggests health effects from prenatal PFAS exposure may not appear until adolescence.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ai-optimize-24\" data-start=\"3544\" data-end=\"3786\">The authors explain that PFAS can disrupt hormones and affect adolescent development\u2014including blood pressure regulation. These risks are especially concerning for Black youth, who are already statistically more prone to hypertension.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_15141\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-15141\" style=\"width: 1200px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-15141 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/7897-1.jpg\" alt=\"Prior research shows people absorb these chemicals through food, water, air, and even skin contact.
