American scientists from the University of California at the University of Cake found a connection between Perfetorkal Compounds (PFA) and the development of certain types of cancer. The study has been published here broadcasting Journal of Exposition Sciences and Environmental Epidemiology (JES).
PFAs are used in the production of anti -formal dishes, waterproof tissues, food containers and other products with heat -resistant and water properties. They are called “eternal chemicals” because of their resistance to decay in a natural environment.
PFAs accumulate in water, soil and body. The latest discoveries show their role in the development of cancer, their failures in endocye and other diseases.
The team examined the data of 156.1 million people gathered from 2016 to 2021 in 1080 US regions.
According to researchers, existing PFAS levels in drinking water may cause an annual cancer cases of 4,000 to 7000 cancer.
PFA chemicals are easily dissolved in water and penetrate the body from the skin and lungs, but the most important – the digestive system is then transferred to other tissues through blood circulation.
Scientists have found that the number of four types of cancer cases increased in places where any PFA species are discovered at high concentration: digestive system, endocrine system, oropharynx and respiratory cancer.
The biggest effect observed in a new study was between the chemical substance PFOSK (perforated sulfone acid) – replacing another “eternal chemicals” species and cancer of the oral and throat. The frequency of such cancers was 33% higher in the presence of PFOSK.
Previously, scientists To create Bacteria that can eat “eternal chemicals”.
