PFAS in Breast Milk Raises Concerns | Amsterdam News

New research from the Netherlands reveals PFAS chemicals — dubbed “forever chemicals” — are found in every one of over 1,600 breast milk samples tested, with 18% exceeding safe levels, raising alarms about potential harm to infants’ immune systems and vaccine efficacy. While health officials still urge breastfeeding due to its unmatched nutritional and protective benefits — and note powdered formula can also contain PFAS — the findings underscore the urgency of reducing chemical exposure. Encouragingly, PFAS levels in breast milk have declined since six years ago, hinting at progress from regulatory efforts, even as these persistent pollutants remain a growing concern.
