CDC Science Clips: Volume 10, Issue 28, July 31, 2018
Science Clips is produced weekly to enhance awareness of emerging scientific knowledge for the public health community. Each article features an Altmetric Attention scoreExternal
This week Science Clips is pleased to feature articles about an important issue with which the National Center for Environmental Health and Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (NCEH/ATSDR) has been involved. Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are man-made compounds that have unique characteristics which allow them to repel oil and water. Since the 1950s, PFAS have been used in food packaging, nonstick cookware, stain and water resistant treatments, cleaning products, paints and sealants, fire-fighting foams, and some cosmetics. Because of the persistence of PFAS in the environment and the human body, concerns have been raised about potential adverse health effects related to exposure. This compilation of recently published peer-reviewed articles illustrates current knowledge on the health effects of PFAS exposure.
One of the featured articles is led by CDC author Xiaoyun (Sherry) Ye. Although she recently passed away, her dedication and outstanding contributions to environmental health and biomonitoring will be greatly missed.
The report consists of these components:
-
Key Scientific Articles in Featured Topic Areas
Subject matter experts decide what topic to feature, and articles are selected from the last 3 to 6 months of published literature. Key topic coincides monthly with other CDC products (e.g. Vital Signs).-
