Elevated TFA Levels Found in European Wines
A PAN Europe study found significantly elevated levels of the PFAS molecule TFA in European wines from 10 EU countries, sometimes exceeding drinking water levels by 100 times; this increase, absent before 1988, correlates with the use of PFAS pesticides and fluorinated gases.

Prenatal Phthalate Exposure Linked to Lower Attention Spans in Infants
An Emory University study found a link between higher prenatal phthalate levels in mothers and lower attention spans and slower reaction times in their newborns, due to decreased levels of tyrosine and tryptophan, amino acids crucial for brain development and neurotransmitter production.
